Since n is an integer and 2 < n < 6, the possible values are: 3, 4, and 5.

(1) n is a factor of 15.

Factors of n are 1, 3, 5 and 15. n can be 3 or 5. No unique value. Insufficient.

(2) n is a factor of 21.

Factors of n are 1, 3, 7 and 21. The value of n is 3. A unique value. Sufficient.

The correct answer: B

Hope this helps!
