Answer:
(b) 2×3
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to factor the number so that the factors are primes. Divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, 6, so we can factor the number as either of 1×6 or 2×3. The factors 2 and 3 are both prime. The factorization you want is ...
6 = 2×3

Additional comment
We know 1 is not a prime number, so we're not interested in any factorization that has 1 as a factor.
