Quadrilaterals

A quadrilateral is a polygon with 4 sides. Thus the figure is a quadrilateral.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. There is no clear indication if the opposite sides are parallel, but we'll assume it anyway.

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. It's clear that not all the sides have the same length, thus it's not a rhombus.

A square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides and four right angles. The figure is clearly not a square.

A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. Since we have already assumed it's a parallelogram, then it cannot be a trapezoid.

Correct choices to select:

A. quadrilateral

B. parallelogram (assumed)
