Answer:

The answer is option D.

Explanation:

A conditional statement is a statement where we can symbolize the given statements in a p and q parts. And this contains if-then clause. It says, if p, then q. Here p is a hypothesis and q is a conclusion. Inverse of a statement means the negative form of the statement in the same order. If not p, then not q.

Given statement is :

If a polygon is regular, then it has congruent angles and congruent sides.

The inverse is :

If a polygon is not regular, then it does not have congruent angles and congruent sides.
