Solution

The correct option is A Regular polygon
A polygon is said to be a regular polygon if all its sides and angles are equal. In a regular polygon, there are as many lines of symmetry as there are sides/angles. That’s the maximum number of lines of symmetry that a polygon can have.
So, if the number of lines of symmetry in a polygon is equal to the number of sides it has, then it must be a regular polygon.
