I . The difference of the roots is odd. I I . At least one root is prime. I I I . p 2 − q is prime . I V . p + q is prime I.\ \text{The difference of the roots is odd.} \\ II.\ \text{At least one root is prime.} \\ III.\ p^2-q\ \text{is prime}. \\ IV.\ p+q\ \text{is prime} I . The difference of the roots is odd. I I . At least one root is prime. I I I . p 2 − q is prime . I V . p + q is prime
