When two numbers are relatively prime, it means that they have no common factors. In this case, 24 has prime factors of 2 and 3 only. Now look at the choices: Notice that 35 = 5*7, and neither 2 nor 3 divides evenly into 35. Therefore they are relatively prime. The other choices are numbers that are all divisible by 3.
