Solution

The correct option is C convex polygons.
A convex polygon is defined as a polygon with all its interior angles less than 180o. This means that all the vertices of the polygon will point outwards, away from the interior of the shape.
Hence all diagonals of convex polygons are interior.

Squares and regular pentagons are special types of convex polygons.
So option C is correct
