The correct statement that BEST describes the student's claim is:
**The student's claim is true for regular polygons with an even number of sides.**
In detail, a rotation of 180° around the center of a regular polygon will map the vertices onto themselves if the polygon has an even number of sides. For regular polygons with an odd number of sides, a 180° rotation does not map the vertices onto themselves; therefore, the claim is not true for those. However, it is true for those with an even number of sides.
