A quadrilateral is a kite if the diagonals are:

i) perpendicular
ii) bisect each other
iii) not equal ( together with conditions i and ii this would make the quadrilateral a square)

Another definition of the kite is :

a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides.

Let's check the choices one by one:

A. ∠M is a right angle and MK bisects ∠LMJ.

according to these, ML and MJ may well be not equal...

B. LM = JM = 3 and JK = LK = √17.

this makes the quadrilateral a kite.

C. MK intersects LJ at its midpoint

if they are not perpendicular, the quadrilateral is not a kite.

D. The slope of MK is –1 and the slope of LJ is 1.

this only means that MK and LJ are perpendicular, but not whether they bisect each other,

What is the perimeter of the polygon? Do not round any side lengths. Please help me.

The easiest way to do this is to plot the points. I used the pythagorean theorem for this one, too. Add the side lengths to get the perimeter: 5 + 5 + 5 + 3 + √40 = 24.32455532 units or just 24 units.
