A cone is a 3D object having a flat circular base with a tapering circular body meeting at its vertex and its looks like a witch's hat.

Axisymmetric describes the rotational symmetry referring to an object being symmetrical and cylindrical on an axis. For example, a cone.

The phrase is a "conic section".


Which of the following conic sections describes a closed circle?

The question is incomplete, because "the following" was not provided. A circle, however, is a conic section where the sectioning plane is perpendicular to the cone's axis of symmetry and intersects each generator or, more specifically, if it is not a right circular cone, parallel to the generating circle of the cone.


How is pyramid technically a cone with a polygonal base?

It isn't a cone at all, technically or otherwise, by definition. A cone has a circular base; a pyramid, a polygonal one. In fact I think it's strictly only a pyramid if it has a quadrilateral base - anything else being a "~hedron" where the "~" part describes the number of faces, such as the Tetrahedron (4 triangular faces).

What is a conic section formed by the intersection of a right circular cone by a plane that cuts the axis and the surface of the cone called?

It sounds like this describes the conic section which is 2 straight lines intersecting at the origin [degenerate form of a hyperbola], but I may be misunderstanding the phrasing of the question.
