Please explain your choice. I have the OA and the OE, but my answer is different.

from 1, if x = 2, its number of dividers (2= 1 and 2) is smaller than 2 sqrt(x)-1, which is 1.41. if x = 32, yes.
from 2, if x is a prime, again its not.
togather is also not. so E.


little corrections:

from 1, if x = 2, its number of dividers (2 = 1 and 2) is greater than 2 sqrt(2)-1, which is 1.82. if x = 32, the no of divisors is smaller than 2 sqrt(32)-1. so not suff.

from 2, if x is a prime, again its not. x could be 2 or 3 or 5 or 31 or so on.

togather is also not. so E.
