Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The angle of the ellipse will match the degree of the slant of the surface. This is because the circle is projected onto multiple views, so it appears distorted in each view depending on the angle of projection. The ellipse in each view will have the same angle as the surface it is projected onto. Therefore, the correct answer is C, the size that matches the degree slant of the surface.
