ganeshie8 · Answer

wait a sec, D is not the answer lol

ganeshie8 · Answer

5 is a odd number, so the events in option D are NOT mutually exclusive.
D is not your answer,okay ?

ganeshie8 · Answer

This is your answer :

```
  A. 
  rolling a 4, rolling a prime number   
   

```

because  the given events cannot happen at the same time as 4 is not a prime
