Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
Explanation:
Oblique Solid: An oblique solid, such as oblique prism, pyramid, cylinder or cone, has its axis inclined to its base. The faces of an oblique prism are parallelograms of different sizes.
Frustum of Pyramid or Cone: When a regular pyramid or a cone is cut by a section plane parallel to its base, and on removing the upper portion of the solid, the remaining portion is called the frustum of that pyramid or cone.
Truncated Solid: When a solid is cut by a plane inclined to base, it is said to be truncated. In geometry, the truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 regular faces (6 octagonal and 8 triangular), 36 edges, and 24 vertices.
