The answer depends on which definition of trapezoid (or trapezium, outside of North America) is used.
Some mathematicians define a trapezoid as any four-sided figure with at least one pair of parallel sides. Using that definition, a rhombus is a special type of trapezoid because a rhombus is a figure with two sets of parallel sides.
Others are more strict, using the name trapezoid only for four-sided figures with exactly one pair of parallel sides. By this definition a rhombus is not a trapezoid.

No, a rhombus can never be a trapezoid. A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides, and a rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides.
A trapezoid can never be a rhombus because a trapezoid is defined to have exactly one pair of parallel sides.no
Only a trapezoid and a rhombus are quadrilaterals because they have 4 sides.
No, a trapezoid is never a rhombus because a rhombus has two pairs of parallel sides; a trapezoid only has one.They are both quadrilaterals because they have 4 sides
