Answer: E. 99

Explanation:

A composite number has more than two factors which means not only including 1 and itself, but at least one other.

factor of 29: 1, 29

factor of 41: 1, 41

factor of 71: 1, 71

factor of 79: 1, 79

factor of 99: 1, 3, 9, 11, 33, 99

Clearly 99 has more than two factors.

Hope this helps!! :)
