Yes.

They have called the 5 numbers the factors. The means, the question is essentially asking,

In a product, 11 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23, reducing which of the 5 factors by 1 (11 to 10, 13 to 12.... )reduces the product.

Option A: 11
11 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23 is now 10 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23

So reduction is the difference (11-10) 1 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23

Option B: 13
11 * 13 * 17 * 19 * 23 is now 11 * 12 * 17 * 19 * 23
Difference: 11 * 17 * 19 * 23
If you see this number is smaller than the difference above. In all other choices.. difference will keep reducing.

Hence the answer.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)
