Good question!!!

If we break down h(100), we get, h(100) = 2*4*6*......100 = 2^50 (1*2*3*4...*50)

So, h(100) contains all natural numbers upto 50.

Hence, h(100) + 1 cannot have a prime number less than 50 because it will always yield a reminder of 1.

Hence, least prime factor of h(100) + 1 will be greater than 50.

Answer is E!
