Answer:

Option: C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We know that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral that consist of a pair of opposite parallel sides and a pair of opposite non-parallel sides.

A)

This figure is a hexagon as it consist of 6 sides and is not a quadrilateral and hence can't be a trapezoid.

Hence, option A is false.

B)

Clearly from the figure we could see that both the pair of opposite sides are non-parallel.

Hence, figure B can't be a trapezoid.

Hence option B is false.

D)

In figure D both the pair of opposite sides are parallel hence the figure is a parallelogram and not a trapezoid.

Hence, option D is false.

C)

This figure is a trapezoid since it has one pair of opposite sides which are parallel and the other pair of opposite sides are not parallel.

Hence, option C is true.
