  • A
    the $5^{th}$ term is always $0$.
  • B
    the $1^{st}$ term is always $0$.
  • C
    the middle term is always $0$.
  • D

Let $n \geq 4$ be a positive integer and let $l_1, l_2, \ldots, l_n$ be the lengths of the sides of an arbitrary $n$-sided non-degenerate polygon $P$. Suppose $\frac{l_1}{l_2} + \frac{l_2}{l_3} + \ldots + \frac{l_{n-1}}{l_n} + \frac{l_n}{l_1} = n$. Consider the following statements:
