I too go with A

statement 1 alone is sufficient. given p^2 has 3 factors. For this to be true, p should be a positive prime number like p = 2,3,5,7 etc. For any of these values of p, p will have just two factors.

statement 2 alone is not sufficient. given p is a multiple of 14. p can be 14,28,42 and so on. But these values of p have different number of factors. For eg. 14 has 4 factors while 28 has 6 factors.
