When a cone is sliced by a plane, the shape of the resulting cross-section depends on the angle at which the plane intersects the cone. If the plane is horizontal, it produces a circle; if it is angled but does not intersect the base, it creates an ellipse; if the plane is vertical and intersects both halves, it forms a parabola; and if the plane is vertical and intersects the apex, it results in a hyperbola. Thus, the type of conic section produced varies with the orientation of the slicing plane.
An ellipse or circle.
This is called an ellipse.
The general answer is an ellipse.

An ellipse or circle.
The "conic section" that is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the cone but that is not parallel to an edge of the cone is known as an ellipse. In the case where the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the ellipse becomes a circle.

A circle.
The points where the cone and plane intersect will form a circle.
The interception of a plane with a cone parallel to the base of the cone is a circle.
An ellipse which, when the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, becomes a circle.
