The number 301...

To solve this problem, we'll apply divisibility rules to the number 301:

• Divisibility by 2:
  A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even. Since the last digit of 301 is 1, which is not even, 301 is not divisible by 2.
• Divisibility by 4:
  A number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits form a number divisible by 4. The last two digits of 301 are 01, which is 1. Since 1 is not divisible by 4, 301 is not divisible by 4.
• Divisibility by 10:
  A number is divisible by 10 if its last digit is 0. The last digit of 301 is 1, not 0, so 301 is not divisible by 10.

None of the divisibility rules for 2, 4, or 10 are satisfied by the number 301. Therefore, the correct answer is No answer is correct, corresponding to choice 4.
