Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which the opposite sides are parallel. The opposite sides and opposite angles are also equal.

Looking at the given options,

A) the opposite sides are equal to 2 yards. Therefore, it is a parallelogram.

B) the opposite sides are equal to 2cm and 3cm each. Therefore, it is a parallelogram.

C)A pair of opposite sides is equal to 4 cm and the other pair of opposite sides is unequal because one side is 3m and the other is 4 m. Therefore, it is not a parallelogram.

D) the opposite sides are equal to 5 in and 3 in each. Therefore, it is a parallelogram.
