A square
The cross-section of a cube can vary depending on how it is cut. If sliced parallel to one of its faces, the cross-section will be a square. If cut diagonally, the cross-section can be a rectangle or a more complex polygon, depending on the angle and position of the cut.
A cube cannot be a rectangular prism, as the cross section of this prism would be a rectangle, as opposed to a square. A square prism (if that is what it is called) could be a cube, but is not necessarily.
