Solution

The correct option is B False
Identify the number of sides.
We know that two polygons with same number of sides are similar if,
Their corresponding angles are equal.
Their corresponding sides are in proportion.
The interior angles of a square are $90^{\circ}$ , while that of a rhombus can or cannot be $90^{\circ}$ .
Hence, condition (a) fails, and thus, the statement is false.
