Monica created a shape with two pairs of parallel sides, which means the shape she created must be a parallelogram. Additionally, depending on its specific properties, it could also be classified further as a rectangle, rhombus, or square.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • Parallelogram: This is a general classification for a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Rectangle: A type of parallelogram where all angles are right angles.
  • Rhombus: A type of parallelogram where all sides are of equal length.
  • Square: A specific type of rectangle and rhombus where all sides are of equal length and all angles are right angles.

Based on this information, the correct answer is:

C. parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, and square.
