Answer 1

Answer:

C. Two distinct prime numbers must be co-prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that there are two prime numbers A and B

(where $A\neq B$ since they are distinct)

A prime number has only two factors: 1 and the number itself

Factors of A = 1,A

Factors of B = 1,B

Common Factor(s) = 1

So, A and B are co-prime.
