Solution
The correct option is A3 A figure is considered polygon if it fits into following properties:
1) Closed and planar(two-dimensional) shape
2) made of straight sides
3) Only one inside area and only one outside area.
To form a polygon, we need atleast 3 sides because shape with two or one straight sides can not be a closed shape.
A triangle formed by 3 sides is the simplest type of polygon.
