The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definition**: A quadrilateral is a type of polygon. By definition, a polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of straight line segments. 2. **Counting the Sides**: The term "quadrilateral" comes from the Latin roots "quadri-" meaning four and "latus" meaning side. Therefore, a quadrilateral specifically has four sides. 3. **Conclusion**: Thus, we conclude that a quadrilateral has exactly four sides.
