The LCM of these numbers is 3 x 5 x 17 x 19 x 7.

Odd integers between 15 and 21 = 15, 17,19 and 21
Lowest positive integers that is divisible by each of these numbers will be its L.C.M
15 = 3 * 5
17 and 19 are prime numbers
21 = 3 * 7

L.C.M of 15 and 21 = 3*5*7
L.C.M of 15,17,19,21
$$=\left(3\cdot5\right)\cdot7\cdot17\cdot19$$
$$=15\cdot7\cdot17\cdot19$$
$$7\cdot15\cdot17\cdot19$$

$$Answer\ is\ Option\ C$$

Ok, so we need to make sure that the number is divisible by 15, 17, 19, and 21.

It is mandatory to have 17 and 19.
\(15 = 3*5\)
\(21 = 3*7\)
so we need at least one factor of 3, then one of 5, and one of 7.

overall:
we need
1 factor of 3, 1 factor of 5, 1 factor of 7, 17, and 19.

Therefore, __C__
