C.

To be a quadrilateral the shape just needs to have 4 edges (sides) and 4 vertices (angles). Answer A would be incorrect because the angles opposite to each other so not have to have the same measure. Answer B would be incorrect because you do not have to have parallel sides to be considered a Quadrilateral.
