Answer

A given parallelogram is a rectangle;

If one angle of a parallelogram is 90°, then all angles must be 90° due to the properties of parallelograms (opposite angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary). Therefore, the parallelogram is a rectangle.

If the diagonals of parallelogram are equal, then it is a rectangle.

So, statement 1 is true.

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.

An arrowhead shape typically refers to a concave quadrilateral, which is not a standard definition of a kite.

So, statement 2 is false.

∴ Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
