Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. 1 pair of parallel lines, 2 perpendicular lines

Let's look at how the lines in the letter H meet:
Parallel: The two tall vertical lines run side-by-side and never cross, making 1 pair of parallel lines.
Perpendicular: The middle horizontal bar hits both vertical lines at perfect 90-degree square corners, creating 2 perpendicular connections.
