`A plane intersects this rectangular prism parallel to the prism’s base.` so the the blue plane cuts the prism and forms a cross section. This cross section is identical to the rectangular base in gray. So the cross section is 4 cm by 10 cm

you just have to choose the answer choice that matches for instance, this is NOT the answer because it's a 4 cm by 4 cm rectangle (more specifically it's a square) https://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1574500_1575000/1574995/1/e3fe8ec56d2aee8b6824c6990ca51bc13b9c80c3/MS_IMB-140209-100013.jpg
