The picture below illustrates a special type of conic section called a hyperbola. Which of the following offers the best description of how a
hyperbola is formed?
A. The plane does not pass through the vertex and intersects both
nappes of a right circular cone.
O B. The plane passes through the vertex and intersects only one
nappe of a right circular cone.
O C. The plane does not pass through the vertex and intersects only
one nappe of a right circular cone.
O D. The plane passes through the vertex and intersects both nappes
of a right circular cone.
