Answer: Choice D

=============================

Step-by-step explanation:

The first figure has 4 sides (quadrilateral)

The second figure has 5 sides (pentagon)

The third figure has 6 sides (hexagon)

Each time we increase the number of sides by 1.

The fourth figure must have 7 sides (heptagon). The only thing that has 7 sides is the figure listed in choice D.
