Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we need to apply the rule of divisibility by 2:

  • A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even.

We are given the digits: 5, 3, 7, 4.

Among these digits, the only even digit is 4.

Therefore, to form a number that is divisible by 2, 4 must be the last digit.

From the provided multiple-choice options, we will select the number that ends with 4:

  • Reading each choice, we find that choice 4, "7534," has 4 as the last digit and thus is divisible by 2.

Therefore, the correct number is 7534.
