A four-sided figure can be referred to by several names, but not all the names you have listed apply. Below are the correct terms and various classifications related to four-sided figures:
1. **Quadrilateral** - General term for any four-sided polygon.
2. **Trapezoid (or Trapezium in some regions)** - A specific type of quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides.
3. **Rectangle** - A special type of quadrilateral with four right angles.
4. **Square** - A quadrilateral with all sides equal and four right angles.
5. **Rhombus** - A quadrilateral with all sides equal but not necessarily with right angles; can also be defined as a special type of parallelogram.
6. **Parallelogram** - A quadrilateral with opposite sides that are equal and parallel.
7. **Kite** - A quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal.
**Note:** "Pentagon" is incorrect as it refers to a five-sided figure, not a four-sided one.
