For a shape to be considered a parallelogram it has to meet the following conditions:

0. The opposite sides must be equal

,

1. The opposite sides are equal

,

2. Adjacent sides are supplementary

,

3. The diagonals bisect each other

,

4. The opposite sides are parallel

For the quadrilateral to be considered a parallelogram then, the conditions that should be met are:

MN=QP and MQ=NP

MN || QP and MQ || NP

The diagonals MP and NQ bisect each other.

∠M=∠P and ∠N=∠Q

From the given options, the second one and the third one are not enough to determine MNPQ as a parallelogram
