  4. A

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (A) C

Explanation

Adjacent sides of a rectangle and of a square meet at 90°, and the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is not perpendicular to either of the other sides (the right angle is between the two shorter sides), so C is the odd statement.
