The "conic section" that is produced when you slice a cone with a plane that passes through only one nappe of the come 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.
The answer is an ellipse.
