Solution

The correct option is D 6 flowers inside a pot
To distribute the flowers equally inside flower pots such that none are left out, the number of flowers inside a flower pot should be a factor of 32.

Factors of 32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,32

We can clearly see that 6 is not a factor of 32.
Hence, 6 flowers cannot be distributed in pots such that none are left out.
