Discussion
One cut of a right circular cone yields no curve at all. Which is it?
Answer: A
Correct answer: one passing through the apex
A plane through the apex meets the curved surface along two straight generators, so the boundary is entirely straight. Every other cut produces one of the conics: a circle parallel to the base, a parabola parallel to a generator, and a hyperbola when steeper than one.
