    All primes are odd, except two. Therefore the sum of the first million primes is one even number plus 999999 odd numbers. Since odd*odd = odd, the first million primes must be even + odd = odd.

    An odd number obviously has an odd final digit, so the only option that can be firmly rules out is b (which is even).
