CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. We need LCM(1, 2, …, 10).

  2. Highest prime powers up to 10: 23=82^3 = 8, 32=93^2 = 9, 5, 7.

  3. LCM⁡=8×9×5×7=2,520\operatorname{LCM} = 8 \times 9 \times 5 \times 7 = 2{,}520.

Worth noting

840 is the LCM of 1 to 8 and is not divisible by 9. 1,260 uses 222^2 and is not divisible by 8.
