Solution

The correct option is A rectangle
The point P(-5,4) is in the 2nd quadrant.

Point Q(5,4) is in the 1st quadrant.

Point R(5,-3) is in 4th quandrant.

Point S(-5,-3) is in 3rd quadrant.

Plotting the points on the coordinate plane, we get

Here, both pair of opposite sides are parallel and each angle is a right angle.

Hence, the closed shape is a rectangle.
