C
Shape with two edges, one straight and one curved

(Choice D)
D
Circle

Choice B: A triangle

Choice C : A shape with two edges, one straight and one curved

Step-by-step explanation:

When a cone is cut by a plane that runs exactly through its vertex, and perpendicular to its base, the shape that is obtained is an isosceles triangle, when the section is viewed.

When a cone is cut through a plane that runs perpendicularly to its base, but not through its vertex, we can get two different shapes which have parabolas or hyperbolas as their curved edge, and a straight edge which is formed from the base of the cone

square pyramid

step-by-step explanation:

square prism looks like nothing like that

triangular prism has a rectangular base instead of a square base

tetrahedron has a triangular base
