The answer is A.

Mutually exclusive means something that can't happen at the same time.

You can't roll a 4 and say you got a prime number. So A is your answer.

B is wrong because if you roll a 3, you are also rolling a prime number.

C is wrong because if you roll a 2, you are also rolling an even number.

D is wrong because if you roll a 5, you are also rolling an odd number.
