Answer 1

When you rotate a rectangle around the x-axis, the three-dimensional object formed is a **cylinder**. A rectangle has two parallel sides (the length and height) and when it rotates around one of its sides (the longest side on the x-axis), it creates a cylindrical shape. Therefore, the correct answer is:

**a cylinder**.
