Your options C and D are the same, but it is true that 51 is a composite number.
1 is neither a prime nor a composite number because it has only one factor (itself (1)). The definition of a prime number is a number that has the factor of one and itself, so one is not prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has more than 2 factors, so one is not composite. One is a special number.
Composite
Because if they have one or more factores
21 is composite number because it has more than one number that goes into it
One (1) is not a composite number.

4 is the least one digit composite number
Composite
A composite number is basically one that is NOT a prime - a composite number is a product of two or more primes.
Composite A prime number is a number that has only two factors (itself and one) A composite number is a number that has more than two factors.

219 is a composite number. This is because composite numbers are any number that has more than two factors(one and itself). Therefore, since 3 and 73 are factors of 219 that makes it a composite number.
391 is a composite number. 391 = 17 * 23 A prime number is a whole number that only has two factors which are itself and one. A composite number has factors in addition to one and itself.
32 is a composite number because it has at least one positive factor other than one or itself.
