Answer: B. I and IV only

Explanation:

We can look at the rectangle already graphed. Since it is being rotated, parallel sets of sides will be parallel in ABCD and A'B'C'D'

I. A'B' and D'C'

-> True

II. A'D' and D'C'

-> False

III. A'B' and A'D'

-> False

IV. A'D' and B'C'

-> True

This means your answer is option B.

I and IV only
