If we're talking in purely geometric terms:

If the edges of a prism/cylinder make a right angle with the base, it is called a right prism/cylinder. If not, it is an oblique prism/cylinder...it will look as if it were slanting to one side instead of standing straight.

Similarly, if the top vertex of a pyramid/cone is directly above the center of the base, it is a right pyramid/cone. Otherwise, it is an oblique pyramid/cone. Again, it will look a bit askew.

What is the difference between a Diagonal line and an oblique line?

A diagonal line is a straight line that connects two non-adjacent corners of a shape, typically forming a 45-degree angle with the sides of the shape. An oblique line, on the other hand, is any line that is neither horizontal nor vertical, and can be at any angle other than 90 degrees. In essence, all diagonal lines are oblique, but not all oblique lines are diagonal.
