Key Property #1: If n is an integer greater than 1, then EITHER n is a prime number, OR n is a composite number.
Key Property #2: All composite integers can be expressed as the product of prime numbers.
Since we're told integer n is NOT a prime number, we know that n must be a composite number, which means n can be expressed as the product of prime number.
Answer: E
