□ cones
□ prisms
□ cylinders
□ pyramids
□ spheres

Explanation:

Cones have circular horizontal cross - sections when sliced parallel to the base. Cylinders have circular cross - sections when sliced horizontally as the bases are circles. Spheres have circular cross - sections no matter how they are sliced. Prisms have cross - sections that are polygons (e.g., triangles, rectangles etc.) and pyramids have cross - sections that are polygons too.
