Lets see (1)

K is divisible by 4
when k=4 answer to the main question stem is yes
k=8 answer to the main question stem is no hence INSUFFICIENT

See(2)
K is divisible by exactly 4 different prime number. Lets say the 4 different prime numbers are 2,3,5 and 7

when k=2x3x5x7 answer to the main question stem is no
when k=2x2x3x3x5x5x7x7 the answer is yes hence INSUFFICIENT

both (1) and (2)
k=2x2x3x5x7 answer to main stem no
k=2x2x3x3x5x5x7x7 answer is yes INSUFFICIENT
