Explanation:

Analyze the given shape's markings

The shape is a four-sided polygon (quadrilateral).
The top and bottom sides have double tick marks, indicating they are equal in length.
The left and right sides have single tick marks, indicating they are equal in length.
Opposite sides are equal in length.

Evaluate the term "parallelogram"

A quadrilateral with opposite sides equal is a parallelogram.
Thus, "parallelogram" is a correct term.

Evaluate the term "rhombus"

A rhombus requires all four sides to be equal.
Since the adjacent sides have different tick marks (single vs. double), they are not necessarily equal.
Thus, "rhombus" does not apply.

Evaluate the term "rectangle"

A rectangle requires four right angles.
The shape has oblique angles (acute and obtuse), not right angles.
Thus, "rectangle" does not apply.

Evaluate the term "square"

A square requires four equal sides and four right angles.
This shape has neither.
Thus, "square" does not apply.

Answer:

• square
• rectangle
• rhombus
• parallelogram (Correct answer)
