Final answer:

A square and a rhombus share the properties of having opposite sides that are parallel, four congruent sides, and opposite angles that are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

A square and a rhombus share several properties. The correct answer that both shapes have in common is:

  • Opposite sides are parallel (A)
  • Four congruent sides (B)
  • Opposite angles congruent (D)

While both a square and a rhombus have four congruent sides, the distinction is that all angles in a square are right angles, but in a rhombus, the angles need not be 90 degrees. Thus, they might not share property (C). Instead, rhombuses have congruent opposite angles, which squares also have by virtue of all angles being 90 degrees. The properties listed that are shared by both squares and rhombuses are parallel opposite sides, congruent sides, and congruent opposite angles.
