Respuesta :

Answer: A circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this exercise is important to remember:

- A sphere is a three-dimensional object whose surface is round.

- A cross section is defined as the intersection of a figure with three dimensions and a plane.

- By definition, all the intersects of a sphere an a plane are circles.

 Based on the information shown above, you can conclude that the cross section, which is shown in the figure attached, is a circle.
