Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
A diagonal is a line segment connecting 2 non-consecutive vertices of a polygon, i.e. A line segment drawn from one vertex of a quadrilateral to the opposite vertex is called a diagonal of the quadrilateral.
So, as we can see, we can draw only 2 such line segments.
∴ A quadrilateral can have only two diagonals.
