Prime Numbers:The numbers which have only two factors 1 and itself are called Prime Numbers.

Lets check for 1,2and3

1has only one factor, therefore 1 is not prime.

2 has two factors 1 and itself , therefore 2 is prime but not odd

3 has two factors 1 and itself , therefore 3 is prime and odd

Hence, 3 is the smallest odd prime number.

Hence, the given statement is True.
