All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd. So whenever we multiply any two such numbers, we are basically multiplying two odd integers.
Product of odd integers is always odd, and can therefore, NEVER be divisible by 2.
Hence A answer
3 is possible (3*5), 11 is possible (11*3), 15 is possible (3*5), 17 is possible (17*3)

Given x and y are prime numbers greater than 2. All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd numbers.
Applying the even and odd number properties, odd number divided by an even number is not an integer. Hence 2 cannot be a divisor of xy.
Answer A...
