A cut passing parallel to the long axis of the body that divides it into unequal left and right halves is known as a sagittal plane. The other options refer to different types of sectional planes - frontal (divides the body into front and back portions), coronal (divides the body into front and back portions), transverse (divides the body into upper and lower portions) and horizontal (is not a commonly used term for a sectional plane).
