For every positive even integer n, the function h(n) is defined to be the product of all the even integers from 2 to n, inclusive.  If p is the smallest prime factor of h(100) + 1, then p is

(A) between 2 and 10
(B) between 10 and 20
(C) between 20 and 30
(D) between 30 and 40
(E) greater than 40

谢谢楼上的。明白了。

Let's first consider the prime factors of h(100). According to the given function,
h(100) = 2*4*6*8*...*100

By factoring a 2 from each term of our function, h(100) can be rewritten as
2^50*(1*2*3*...*50).

Thus, all integers up to 50 - including all prime numbers up to 50 - are factors of h(100).

Therefore, h(100) + 1 cannot have any prime factors 50 or below, since dividing this value by any of these prime numbers will yield a remainder of 1.

Since the smallest prime number that can be a factor of h(100) + 1 has to be greater than 50, The correct answer is E.
