The figure that has rotational symmetry among the options given is **a rectangle**.
A rectangle has rotational symmetry of order 2, meaning it can be rotated 180 degrees and still look the same. In contrast, a parallelogram also has rotational symmetry, but the most distinctive among the options is the rectangle due to its right angles and equal opposite sides.
Trapezoids typically do not have rotational symmetry unless they are isosceles trapezoids (which would have a specific symmetry), and irregular pentagons generally do not have any rotational symmetry. Therefore, the best answer would be **a rectangle**.
