To determine which shapes are trapezoids, we need to remember that a trapezoid is defined as a quadrilateral (a four-sided shape) that has at least one pair of parallel sides.
Let's evaluate the choices based on this definition:
- **Choice A**: This shape has two sets of parallel sides, meaning it is a parallelogram. While it does have parallel sides, it does not fit the definition of a trapezoid, since trapezoids specifically have only one pair of parallel sides (not two).
- **Choice B**: This shape does not have any sides that are parallel. Therefore, it cannot be a trapezoid.
- **Choice C**: This shape has one set of parallel sides. This fits the definition of a trapezoid, as it has at least one pair of parallel sides.
- **Choice D**: This shape also has one set of parallel sides. Thus, it too fits the definition of a trapezoid.
Based on this analysis, the two shapes that are trapezoids are:
- **Choice C**
- **Choice D**
