In the Sieve of Eratosthenes for numbers less than 100, explain why, after crossing out all the multiples of 2, 3, 5, and 7, the remaining numbers are prime. Choose the correct answer below. OA. The product 2.3.5.7 is greater than 100, so the Sieve will have crossed out all of the composite numbers less than 100. OB. The next prime number after 7 is 11. The smallest composite number which does not have 2, 3, 5, or 7 as a factor is 112, which is greater than 100. OC. The Sieve of Eratosthenes is used to find large prime numbers, its results will be inconsistent when used on small numbers, such as for the numbers less than 100. OD. The Sieve of Eratosthenes is meant to find prime numbers, it will not identify composite numbers.
