  • Correct answer
    A
    6
  • B
    3
  • C
    9
  • D
    12

Solution

The composition table is \begin{array}{lllll} \hline 15 & 3 & 6 & 9 & 12 \\ \hline 3 & 9 & 3 & 12 & 6 \\ \hline 6 & 3 & 6 & 9 & 12 \\ \hline 9 & 12 & 9 & 6 & 3 \\ \hline 12 & 6 & 12 & 3 & 9 \\ \hline \end{array} From the table 6 is the identity element.
