a. False. Consider a triangle with two equal length sides and a third side of a different length. Such a triangle is isosceles but not equilateral (or equiangular or regular).
b. False if you use the "exclusive" definition of a trapezoid (i.e. a quadrilateral with EXACTLY one pair of parallel sides). True if you use the "inclusive" definition of a trapezoid (i.e. a quadrilateral with AT LEAST ONE pair of parallel sides).
c. True
d. Consider a kite with only one diagonal that is an axis of symmetry. Such a quadrilateral is a kite but not a rhombus.
