Explanation
This problem is most easily solved with an example. If r = 10 and s = 9, then rs = 90. The factors of 90 are 1 & 90, 2 & 45, 3 & 30, 5 & 18, 6 & 15, and 9 & 10. Count to get a minimum of 12 factors.

RS is 90.. so in order to count the number of factors of 90 we need to see prime factorization of 90
we get 3*3*2*5
now we have 3 -- twice and 2 and 5 once
we add 1 to each of their power and multiple the power- 3*2*2= 12 hence the answer is C.
