    The second (b) is the correct one.

    a is trapezoid.

    c, d, e i think neither.

    it is trapezium in case of a) S (0, 0) it is parallelogram in case of b) S (3, - 2)

    And vertex of part c), d) and e) are neither trapezium nor parallelogram.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given Quadrilateral PQRS has vertices P (-3, 2), Q (-1, 4), and R (5, 0).

    If we take fourth vertex S as (0, 0) (as shown in figure-1)

    we can see that distance between PQ and ST are same 2√2.

    so, line PS and RQ are parallel.

    Therefore it is trapezium in case of a) S (0, 0)

    If we take fourth vertex S as (3, - 2) (as shown in figure-2)

    we can see that distance between PQ and SR are same 2√2

    and distance between PS and RQ are same √52

    Therefore it is parallelogram in case of b) S (3, - 2)

    And vertex of part c), d) and e) are neither trapezium nor parallelogram.
