Answer
A
In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect opposite angles.
B
In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular.
C
In a rhombus, the diagonals are congruent.
D
In a rhombus, all four sides are congruent.

Explanation

A rhombus always has four congruent sides, and its diagonals bisect opposite angles and meet at right angles. Its diagonals are not necessarily congruent; they are congruent in a square, which is a special kind of rhombus. Therefore, the statement that the diagonals are congruent is not always true: choice C.
