B
We know that,
the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
ie. ∠ A=∠ C and ∠ B=∠ D ...(i)
If they are supplementary as well, then
∠ A+∠ C=180∘
from (i),
∠ A+∠ A=180∘
2∠ A=180∘
∠ A=90∘
Similarly,
∠ C=90∘
It means that each angle will be equal to 90∘.
A parallelogram whose internal angles are all 90∘ is a rectangle. Thus, the figure will be a rectangle.
