The key in this PS question is: "must always" be a non-integer.
a) xy, the product of two odd integers is integer. OUT.
b) x/y, if x=3 and y=1, then x/y is integer. So, it can be sometimes integer and sometimes not. OUT.
c) as above. OUT.
d) The product of to odd integers ALWAYS is an odd integer. So, xy/2 will be ALWAYS non-integer. CORRECT.
e) as option a). OUT.
I hope this answer can help you.
I'm available if you'd like a follow up.
