C Correct answer
Explanation

A standard six-sided die has outcomes {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Among these, 4 and 6 are composite numbers, while 2, 3, and 5 are prime, and 1 is neither prime nor composite.

AI explanation

A standard die has the sample space of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself, meaning it is not prime and not the number 1. From the sample space, only the numbers 4 and 6 fit this definition. The set of outcomes is {4, 6}.
