 Rhombus - A rhombus is a  quadrilateral with opposite sides  parallel and all four sides are equal in length.


Rectangle - A rectangle is a polygon with 4 sides, such that the opposite sides are equal and parallel to one another, also the measure of all the internal angles in a rectangular shape object is equal to 90 degrees.


A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. The opposite sides of every rhombus are parallel, so every rhombus is a parallelogram.

All squares are rhombuses as all sides of a square are of equal lengths. All squares are also rectangles as each internal angle measures 90°

The correct answer is Option (3) → B Only
