~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A)  20! is multiple of 15, while 17 is not. Therefore,  n= 20! + 17  is NOT divisible by 15.

B)  20! is multiple of 17, therefore  n= 20! + 17  IS divisible by 17.

C)  20! is multiple of 19, while 17 is not. Therefore,  n= 20! + 17  is NOT divisible by 19.

Now you are in position to make all selections/decisions.
