Solution

The correct option is A True

A number is prime if it has exactly two unique factors: 1 and itself.

1 can't be prime because it only has 1 unique factor.

A number is composite if it can be product of two or more primes.

Again, 1 cannot qualify as it is the product of no primes.

Therefore, 1 is a unique number
