Kudos for the right answer and explanation
This requires us to find the
prime factorization of each answer choice
A. 165 = (3)(5)(11) --- 3 distinct prime factors
B. 192 = (2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(2)(3) --- 2 distinct prime factors
C. 228 = (2)(2)(3)(19) --- 3 distinct prime factors
D. 330 = (2)(3)(5)(11) --- 4 distinct prime factors
E. 332 = (2)(2)(83) --- 2 distinct prime factors
Answer: D
