Answer:

The diagonals of a kite bisect each other

Explanation:

Let analyse all possible answer:

a. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other

True, it is one of the properties of a parallelogram

b. The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other

True, In any rhombus, the diagonals (lines linking opposite corners) bisect each other at right angles (90°). That is, each diagonal cuts the other into two equal parts, and the angle where they cross is always 90 degrees.

c. The diagonals of a square bisect each other.

True, it is one of the properties of a square

d. The diagonals of a kite bisect each other

Wrong, because we do not know what shape of the kite is, it can have a really strange shape that we can not identify where the diagonals are as you can see in the attached photo.
