Question
Which of the summarizes the reflections that carry a parallelogram onto itself?
A. a parallelogram doesn't not have any lines of reflection
B. a parallelogram has two lines of reflection that carry it onto itself: one horizontal through the midpoints of each side, and one vertical through the midpoints of the top and bottom
C. a parallelogram has two lines of reflection: flipped on each diagonal will carry it onto itself
D. a parallelogram has four lines of symmetry: horizontal through the midpoints, vertical through the midpoints, and both diagonals

The correct answer is:
**C. a parallelogram has two lines of reflection: flipped on each diagonal will carry it onto itself.**
Parallelograms have lines of symmetry along their diagonals, but they do not have vertical or horizontal line symmetries unless they are rectangles or rhombuses. Thus, option C is the best choice.
