Explanation:

• Shape A (rhombus): Has parallel sides but no right angles (so no perpendicular sides).
• Shape B (trapezoid with one right angle? No, it's a trapezoid with non - right angles on the slant side, and only one pair of parallel sides, and the non - parallel sides don't form right angles with the parallel sides in a way that has both parallel and perpendicular sides as required).
• Shape C (square/rectangle): A square (or rectangle) has two pairs of parallel sides, and all adjacent sides are perpendicular (form right angles).
• Shape D (triangle): A triangle has no parallel sides.

Answer:

C. Shape C
