Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Correct answer: 9
Explanation:
A composite number has more than two factors (not a prime number).
Let's check each option:
- 3 → Prime number
- 5 → Prime number
- 7 → Prime number
- 9 → Factors: 1, 3, 9 → more than two factors
So, 9 is the smallest odd composite number.
