IMO E

From 1:
parallelogram could be a rhombus, rectangle or square
NOT SUFFICIENT

From 2:
parallelogram could be a rectangle or square

combining 1 and 2:
parallelogram still be a rectangle or a square

therefore E

1)Angle ABC= Angle BCD
2)The parallelogram has equal diagonals

I feel the answer should be E. What do you say?
Only when a parallelogram is a square its diagonals are equal.

IMO B.
