Solution

The correct option is D 1,3,7 or 9
All even numbers (other than 2) are composite, so prime numbers cannot end with any of the digits 0,2,4,6,8.

Also, a number with unit digit 5 will be divisible by 5.

Therefore, the unit's digit of every prime number(other than 5) must be necessarily 1,3,7 or 9.
