Solution

The correct answer is a. Square Prism.

Here's why:

A cross-section is the shape we get when cutting straight through an object.

a. A square prism - If you cut a square prism parallel to the base, you will get a square. But if you cut it perpendicular to the base but angled to the sides, you will get a trapezoid.

b. Cylinder - Any cross-section of a cylinder parallel to the base will be a circle or an ellipse, not a trapezoid.

c. Square Pyramid - A cross-section of a square pyramid could be a triangle or a smaller square, but not a trapezoid.

d. Cone - Any cross-section of a cone will be a circle, an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola, but not a trapezoid.
