A composite number is a positive integer that has at least one positive divisor other than one and itself. In other words, it is a number that can be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers.

Let's evaluate the options:

- **37**: Prime (only divisible by 1 and 37)
- **67**: Prime (only divisible by 1 and 67)
- **27**: Composite (divisible by 1, 3, 9, and 27; can be expressed as 3 x 9)
- **47**: Prime (only divisible by 1 and 47)

The composite number from the provided options is **27**.
