It crosses another planet's orbital path. Since Pluto is not a planet, it does not matter. Comets always pass other planets' orbital paths. They are still called planets. Countless asteriods and comets orbits the sun and crosses every planets orbital path. Pluto is somewhat a part of them.
There is something circular about the logic in the above answer; see discussion.
Probably a stronger answer is the fact that even though a section of the orbit of Pluto comes within the orbit of Neptune, the harmonic relationship between the two bodies is such that they can never collide, barring some catastrophic event that alters one or both orbits. Neptune and Pluto are locked in this harmonic relationship where for every three orbits of Neptune there is exactly two orbits of Pluto. So Pluto cannot be seen as an object that Neptune must clear. Pluto is more like an unusual moon of Neptune.
Neptune sometimes crosses the path of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Because it crosses paths with Neptune.

None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
The planet Neptune crosses the orbit of Pluto in an elliptic orbit
Neptune sometimes crosses the path of the dwarf planet Pluto.
The planet Neptune.
Pluto is sometimes closer to the Sun than Neptune.

Neptune is always the outermost planet. For about 10% of the time the dwarf planet Pluto crosses inside of Neptune's orbit.

Neptune has an odd orbital property. The orbit of Neptune crosses the orbital path of the dwarf planet Pluto, so there are times when Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune.
Yes. Pluto used to be (at least most of the time since, its orbits crosses that of Neptune) but now Pluto is considered a dwarf planet.
None. Moons orbit Neptune. Planets orbit the Sun
The planet Neptune crosses the orbit of Pluto in an elliptic orbit
