Sticks are taken as the diagonals of a quadrilateral. In geometry there are many things such as squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombus etc. Given that the both diagonals are equal in length and are bisecting each other at right angles. Therefore the shape formed by joining their end points will be a square because its diagonals bisect each other at right angles and also equal in length.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
