1) Besides 1, A is the least factor of N
2) A has two factors.

Statement 1: If A is the least factor of N, A must be a prime number as except 1 all the number are made of prime numbers.

Sufficient

Statement 2: Only prime numbers have two factors, 1 and the number itself.
So, A is a prime number.

Sufficient

The correct answer is D.

GMAT never asks for negative factors.
You won't see this problem in GMAT simply because GMAT would've said 'Positive integers A and N..." or used the phrase 'positive factors'.

Apart from that, if we consider negative factors just for the sake of mathematical discussion, any negative integer x has at least 4 factors : 1, -1, x, and -x
Same is true for any positive integer.
In your case, -5 has four factors : 1, -1, 5, and -5

But for most of the practical purpose negative factors do not mean anything. So they have their implications only in mathematical discussion. And that's why GMAT doesn't ask for them.

Hope that helps.
