Answer:

B If a quadrilateral has diagonals that bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle just like a square has diagonals that bisect each other and they are congruent( two lines are congruent if they are equal). A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with parallel sides and when its diagonals intersect, they are congruent too. Therefore a rectangle with diagonals that bisect each other is not necessarily a parallelogram.
