If n=4p, where p is a prime number > 2, how many positive EVEN divisors does n have?
A) Two
B) Three
C) Four
D) Six
E) Eight

This question seems so easy...and the answer explanation is quite vague. I don't know where I'm going wrong. The answer should be B in my opinion, OA says otherwise.

the number is 4p. p is a prime greater than 2

say p=3, n=12, divisors: 2,4, 6, 12
say p=5, n=20, divisors: 2, 4, 10, 20
and so on.
=>n will have 4 even divisors
