  4. D. 7, 19, 23

Correct Answer

Option C — 4, 6, 8

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 4, 6, 8.

Key Points

  • Groups A (2,3,5), B (11,13,17) and D (7,19,23) contain only prime numbers.
  • Group C (4,6,8) is entirely even composites — not one is prime — so it is the odd group.
  • For group-based odd-one-out, find the shared property across the majority (all-prime here) and pick the group that fails it.
