Solution

The correct option is C 5
Assume that we know the measures of all the sides of a given quadrilateral ABCD, where AD = BC = 10 cm and AB = CD = 8 cm. Now, there are many quadrilaterals that satisfy the above measurements, such as the ones given below.
But, if we have information about the diagonal AC or BD, then we get a unique quadrilateral.

Similarly, specific combinations of five measurements can determine a quadrilateral uniquely.
