The correct answer is **B (rectangle)**.
A cross section of both a right cylinder and a right rectangular pyramid can be a rectangle, especially if the cut is made parallel to the base of the pyramid and through the cylinder. While circles can be a cross section of the cylinder, they would not apply to the pyramid, and triangles and pentagons do not represent a consistent cross-section for both shapes in general.
