Solution

The correct option is A

True


You don't need to draw the full quadrilateral you just need to know the basic property of triangles - "The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always more than the third side.”

Every quadrilateral is made of two triangles.

So if we can construct two triangles, we can construct the full quadrilateral. Here is a rough diagram of quadrilateral ABCD.

We have measures of AB, BC, AC, CD and BD. Also condition for conducting a triangle holds for ABC and BDC. So, we can construct the quadrilateral ABCD.
