I did this question earlier;

stmt I is insufficient
since parallelogram, rhombus also fall into the same category.

stmt II insufficient
since rectangle and trapezium fall into the same category

combining both it is sufficient

no . the diagonal of a rhombus can't be equal in length.so if they are equal in length then it is a square.

C should be the answer.

a rhombus is a quadrilateral whose four sides are all congruent

a square is a quadrilateral whose four sides are all congruent
and whose angles are all right angles
