Solution

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

            (B) Frustum of a cone – It is a portion of a solid that lies between one or two parallel planes cutting it.

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

            (D) A sphere – The set of all points in three-dimensional space lying the same distance from a given point.  

            Hence the shape of glass is usually in the form of the frustum of a cone.
