Answer: The answer is D. Trapezoid.
Step-by-step explanation: As shown in the attached figure, a rectangular pyramid ABCDE is drawn. We are slicing this rectangular pyramid parallel to the base BCDE at the points F, G, H and I.
We can clearly see from the figure that upper half of the sliced figure will be similar to the pyramid BCDE and the lower sliced figure will be a trapezoid. These are the three-dimensional figures.
Also, the sliced two-dimensional figure FGHI will be a rectangle, because
the pyramid is a rectangular one and so, FI=GH, FG=HI and all the angles are right angles.
Thus, the resulting two-dimensional figure will be a rectagle.
