A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one positive divisor other than one and itself. In other words, a composite number has more than two distinct positive divisors.

Let's evaluate the given options:

- **27**: This number can be divided by 1, 3, 9, and 27 (its divisors are 1, 3, 9, and 27). Since it has more than two divisors, it is a composite number.

- **37**: This number has only two divisors: 1 and 37. It is a prime number, not composite.

- **67**: This number also has only two divisors: 1 and 67. It is a prime number, not composite.

- **47**: This number has only two divisors: 1 and 47. It is also a prime number, not composite.

Thus, the number classified as composite from the given options is **27**.
