Answer:

D.  If a quadrilateral is a trapezoid, then it has exactly one pair of parallel sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

The converse of a statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion.

  • Hypothesis:  The part after the "if".
  • Conclusion:  The part after the "then".

Given statement:

  • "If a quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides, then it is a trapezoid."

Therefore:

  • Hypothesis:  "a quadrilateral has exactly one pair of parallel sides"
  • Conclusion:  "it is a trapezoid."

Converse statement:

  • "If a quadrilateral is a trapezoid, then it has exactly one pair of parallel sides."
