It's neither of them because -4 is not a natural number and prime or composite numbers are a subset of natural numbers i.e. only natural numbers can be classified as prime or composite numbers.

4 is a composite number because it is divisible by more than only 1 and itself. It is also divisible by 2. All even numbers (except the number 2) are composite.

Besides 1 and itself, 4 can also be divided evenly by 2, so it's composite.
