1. The problem asks to find counterexamples to the statement: "All prime numbers are odd."
2. Recall the definition: A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
3. The statement claims all prime numbers are odd, so a counterexample would be a prime number that is not odd (i.e., an even prime number).
4. Check each option:
- A) 2: 2 is prime and even, so it is a counterexample.
- B) 3: 3 is prime and odd, not a counterexample.
- C) 7: 7 is prime and odd, not a counterexample.
- D) 8: 8 is even but not prime, so not a counterexample.
- E) 13: 13 is prime and odd, not a counterexample.
- F) 22: 22 is even but not prime, so not a counterexample.
5. Therefore, the only value that provides a counterexample is 2.
Final answer: A) 2
