1- I would like to make three sections as shown in attachments A, B and C to show the section which is in polygon form necessarily.
2- Is it possible to draw flat surfaces in 3D on solidworks? (see attachment)

First of all to clarify the context: currently the bottle is modeled with Autocad apparently?
To make a cut in Autocad of a volume, I only remember one thing: it's a hassle (when you know SW or equivalent).
If you have access to SW, make a parasolid export of your Autocad file, you will benefit.
There is no particular problem in generating flat faces. Initially, I will start with a removal of material by extrusion on 2 sides based on a radial plane.

In the PRT part file
You have to create "plans" at each desired place
then on each plan right-click "interactive cutting plane"

Sorry, I had read too fast, the question is more about Autocad,
Otherwise with SW, roughly speaking, you can draw everything.

For sections, I ended up counting the surfaces and drawing them manually.
Yes of course nothing is impossible on SW but for the moment I don't find the approach wise yet:( :
Do I use surfacing by relying on the "adjust" command to get to the desired shape? ....

In my humble opinion you have problems in your cutting sections
It seems to me that some cross-sectional faces are missing

No need for surface. As I said:
- creation of a radial plane (which passes through the axis of the bottle);
- creation of a material removal system by extrusion on either side of this plane;
- circular repetition;
- reiteration of these 3 steps for the 2nd series of facets.
why is it not wise to switch to SW? How would doing the job 2 times (once with Autocad which is notoriously easy to work in 3D and a second time with SW) be more judicious?
With SW, you would have the volumes and mass directly without approximation, the views would be error-free.

Ok! I would try your suggestion and I hope it is effective
