Answer:

b. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

knowing that a prime number is an integer with exactly two divisors and a composite number is an integer with more than two divisors, we have that if q is a composite number greater than 2 these can be 4, 6, 8, .. But how the smallest of them should be is 4, and  p is a prime number can be 2,3,5,7,....

but  is the smallest prime number less than 10 then p=2, also p/q=2/4 = 0.5
