Answer: B

To find out which of these figures is a polygon, let's look at the definition of a polygon.

A polygon is a closed figure whose sides are line segments that do not cross.

Using the definition above, let's go and look for which figure is a polygon.

A would not be a polygon because the segments cross.

C would not be a polygon because the segments cross.

D would not be a polygon because it's not closed.

This leaves our answer which is B.
