If x and y are both odd prime numbers and x < y, how many distinct positive integer Q factors does 2xy have?	Choose the correct choice:
A) 3	B) 4	C) 6	D) 8	E) 12

Rationale: since 2 xy prime q factors are x ^ 1 * y ^ 1 * 2 ^ 1 , its total number or factors must be ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 2 ^ 3 = 8 . thus , i think d would be the correct answer .
Answer: D
