Answer:

A. 36

Explanation:

A composite number is a number that can be divided evenly by more numbers than 1 and itself. It is the opposite of a prime number. The number 36 can be evenly divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 36, with no remainder. Since 36 cannot be divided by just 1 and 36, it is a composite number.
