I think the asnwer can be E..
Statement 1 is not sufficient, since a rectangle can also be called as a parallelogram.
Statement 2 alone is also not sufficient, since the same conditions can be said for a rectangle.
Both together do not give any additional information..hence E

However, both statements could be describing a rhombus, so the answer is in fact (e).
