The answer to this would be C, the third of the options. This is the only response that fully answers the question. For example, two factors of 42 would be 6 and 7, and both are not even, so given the absolute nature of Rathan's belief, there is no exception that can be made to make him correct. I hope this helps, and if it was sufficient to make you understand fully set it to the brainliest answer. Have a nice day! =)

The correct answer is:

He is incorrect because the product of an even number and an odd number is even.  

Explanation:

When you multiply any number by an even number, whether it is even or odd, the product will be even.

This means that an even number can have an odd factor, and Rathan is incorrect.
