Incorrect 
  
A. 
Notice that the question says, "best defines a square." While it's true that a square is a parallelogram with four congruent sides, so is a rhombus that is not a square. The definition is "best" when it describes a figure that can only be a square. By saying a rectangle with four congruent sides, you guarantee that the figure has four right angles, in addition to four congruent sides, and therefore, the figure can only be a square.

Oh, I didn't see 
angles. I only saw sides, so I must have been looking at the wrong mutiple choice slide.
