    Prime means can't be factored

    first one can be factored to (x-6) (x+6)

    2nd one can be forced into (x-4i) (x+4i) (might not be acceptable because used imaginary numbers)

    3rd can be (x-3) (x-4)

    4th is (x-5) (x+4)

    2nd one is answer because you can't do it unless you use imaginary numbers
