(1) Line segments AC and BD are perpendicular bisectors of each other.

(2) AB = BC = CD = AD
Statement (1)

Ac and BD are bisect each other at 90 degree, this is property of both square and a rohmbus. Insufficient.

Statement (2)

AB = BC = CD = AD

Same as above, could be a rohmbus or a square. Insufficient.

Combining (1) & (2)

Still it could a rohmbus or a square. Insufficient


Hence E. OA?

I apologize for the silly mistake,

All squares are rohmbus, but not all rohmbus are squares.

Therefore, each statement should be sufficient.

For anyone who (like me) didn't remember what a rhombus is:
Rhombus - A parallelogram with four congruent sides

How is A sufficient?

A quadrilateral with diagonals that bisect each other at right angles could be a kite.

A kite with 4 equal sides is a rhombus.

B by itself is sufficient.
