Chane in cross section means change in Cross sectian area and that would ony vary if the radii of the cylinder bform rod would change.
And further  it wwould only be possible if the force is applied perpennduclar to the length of the rod.
As here the forces are working along the rod itself,
there should be no change in cross section.
