D)quadrilateral

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prefix "quad" means four, and a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides. Therefore, option D (quadrilateral) is the best choice. The other options are a rectangle (which is a specific type of quadrilateral), a rhombus (another specific type of quadrilateral), and a pentagon (which is a polygon with five sides and not applicable to this figure). The term "polygon" refers to any closed shape with three or more straight sides. Out of the choices given, rectangles, rhombuses, and pentagons are all specific types of polygons, while quadrilateral is a broader term for any polygon with four sides. Therefore, D (quadrilateral) is the best choice as it encompasses all possibilities.
