Answer(A) a frustum of a cone

Solution.
Cone – A cone is a three-dimensional geometrical shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base to a point called the apex or vertex.

Frustum of a cone – It is the portion of a solid that lies between one or two parallel planes cutting it

Cylinder – A cylinder is a three dimensional solid that has two parallel based joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. 

Sphere – The set of all points in three-dimensional space lying the same distance from a given point.
Thus A cone that is cut through a plane parallel to its base and then the cone that is formed one side of that plane is removed then the new part which is formed is called the frustum of a cone.
