AC is the diameter of the circle.
Thus, $\angle A D C=90^{\circ}$ and $\angle A B C=90^{\circ}$--------1(Angle in a semi-circle is right angle)
Similarly, BD is the diameter of the circle.
Thus, $\angle B A D=90^{\circ}$ and $\angle B C D=90^{\circ}$--------2(Angle in a semi-circle is right angle)
From 1 and 2, we get
$\angle B C D=\angle A D C=\angle A B C=\angle B A D=90^{\circ}$
Hence, $A B C D$ is a rectangle.
