Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 9
The complement M' contains all elements of the universal set U that are not members of M. Removing 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 from U gives M' = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}. Among the choices, only 9 appears in this complement. Therefore, option C is correct; 2, 6, and 10 belong to M itself.
