O is neither composite nor prime.

A Prime number is a number which has exactly two factors: itself and one. Zero has infinitely many factors, so it cannot be prime.

A composite number is a number which can be represented by the product of two positive integers, neither of which can be itself. Since zero cannot be represented as the product of two non-zero numbers, it cannot be a composite number.

0 is neither. A prime number has only 2 factors which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers are everything else except 1 and 0. 1 and 0 are neither prime, nor composite.
