Euclidean stops at one variable

Which of the following statements are true?

  1. A.The value of the Euler function is even for all integers n ≥ 3.
  2. B.Let G be a finite group and S a subset of G with |S| > |G|/2. Then {ab : a, b ∈ S} = G.
  3. C.The polynomial ring is a Euclidean domain for all integers n ≥ 1.
  4. D.The subset {f ∈ C([0, 1]) : f(1/2) = 0} of the ring C([0, 1]) of continuous functions from [0, 1] to is a prime ideal.

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
