An illustration shows a 3 D rectangular prism with six faces lying horizontally. A two dimensional square plane cuts through the top left side on the front of the prism at an angle. All the sides that are not visible are drawn as dashed lines.

Based on the description of the illustration, the two-dimensional shape created by slicing through a three-dimensional rectangular prism at an angle is a rectangle.
When a plane cuts through the prism at an angle, the shape created on that plane is typically a rectangle, not a square or a hexagon. Therefore, the correct response is:
rectangle
