To determine which of the numbers is prime, we need to check each one:

  • 27: This is not prime because it can be divided by 1, 3, 9, and 27 (3 * 9 = 27).

  • 54: This is not prime since it can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, and 54 (2 * 27 = 54).

  • 69: This is not prime as it can be divided by 1, 3, 23, and 69 (3 * 23 = 69).

  • 95: This is not prime because it can be divided by 1, 5, 19, and 95 (5 * 19 = 95).

  • 97: This number is prime because its only divisors are 1 and 97.

Therefore, the prime number among the given choices is:

(Choice E) \(97\)
