Final answer:

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive congruent sides. One of the properties of a kite is that the diagonals bisect each other. However, the diagonals of a kite are not perpendicular to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of consecutive congruent sides. So, the property of a kite that is NOT true is A. Two pairs of consecutive congruent sides. In a kite, the diagonals do not bisect each other but they do intersect. The diagonals of a kite are also not perpendicular to each other. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Diagonals are perpendicular.

The correct answer is C. Diagonals bisect each other

That is not a property of a kite because its diagonals intersect at right angles. Diagonals that bisect each other appear on things such as rectangles.
