  • A 1
  • B \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  • C \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  • D Zero
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\(\begin{array}{c|c} x & 2 & 3 & 5 & 9 \\ \hline 2 & 4 & 6 & 10 & 18 \\ \hline 4 & 8 & 12 & 20 & 36 \\ \hline 6 & 12 & 18 & 30 & 54 \\ \hline 8 & 16 & 24 & 40 & 72 \end{array}\)
Note: A {horizontal}
B {vertical}
Pr (Odd Product) = \(\frac{0}{16}\)
= 0
