All the primes in the given range -> odd
Multiplication of two primes (both odd) = odd
Addition of two primes (both odd) = even

So, M(odd) - A(odd) = odd - even = odd
Choice, B and D out.
The minimum value = 7*5 -(7+5) = 35 - 12 = 23, A out
The maximum value = 17*13 - (17+13) = 221 - 30 = 191, D out

So, C is the answer. {Which is 13*11 - (13+11), although we don't need to calculate it to get the answer}
