Given: \(nk=400\)
For the product of two integers to be even at least one integer must be even.
A. n+k>0 --> not necessarily true: \(nk=(-20)*(-20)=400\);
B. n does not equal k --> not necessarily true: \(nk=20*20=400\);
C. Either n or k is a multiple of 10 --> not necessarily true: \(nk=16*25=400\).
D. If n is even, then k is odd --> not necessarily true, \(n\) can be even and \(k\) be even too --> \(nk=20*20=400\);
E. If n is odd, then k is even --> this must be true, if one of the factors is odd (\(n\)) the second one (\(k\)) must be even for their product to be even.
Answer: E.
