I think it's B.

Ok, prime numbers are numbers that have no other multiples other than 1 and itself. For example: 7 is a prime number because it only has factors of 7 and 1.

Nope, not B.

Sally said that the outcome would be a prime number, but we're trying to find a counterexample, meaning an example that proves her wrong.
