Answer:

B. tra-pezoid

Explanation:

The point (2,4) and (-2,4) are on the same horizontal line.

This line has a zero slope

The distance between them is
|2--2|=4.

The point (-4,-2) and (4,-2) are on the same horizontal line.

This line also had a zero slope.

The distance between them is
|4--4|=8

The quadrilateral has just one pair of sides parallel.

The quadrilateral is a tra-pezoid
