Answer

Given; ABCD is a parallelogram in which AC and BD are the diagonals of the parallelogram.

As we know that in a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel and equal in length, opposite angles are equal and consecutive angles are supplementary.

Option 1: AC = BD is true only for rectangles or squares, not all parallelograms.

Option 2: ∠AOB = 90° is true only for rhombuses or squares, not all parallelograms.

Option 3: The four triangles formed are congruent is true only for rhombuses or squares, not all parallelograms.

Option 4: AC and BD bisect each other is a fundamental property of all parallelograms.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
