That's very interesting.  I had never thought about it before.
Let's look through all of the ten possible digits in that place,
and see what we can tell:

-- 0:
   A number greater than 10 with a 0 in the units place is a multiple of
   either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.

-- 1:
    A number greater than 10 with a 1 in the units place could be
    a prime (11, 31 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (21, 51).

-- 2:
   A number greater than 10 with a 2 in the units place has 2 as a factor
   (it's an even number), so it's not a prime number.

-- 3:
   A number greater than 10 with a 3 in the units place could be
   a prime (13, 23 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (33, 63) .

-- 4: 
   A number greater than 10 with a 4 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 5:
   A number greater than 10 with a 5 in the units place is a multiple
   of either 5 or 10, so it's not a prime number.

-- 6:
   A number greater than 10 with a 6 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 7:
   A number greater than 10 with a 7 in the units place could be
   a prime (17, 37 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (27, 57) .

-- 8:
   A number greater than 10 with a 8 in the units place is an even
   number, and has 2 as a factor, so it's not a prime number.

-- 9:
   A number greater than 10 with a 9 in the units place could be
   a prime (19, 29 etc.) but it doesn't have to be (39, 69) .

So a number greater than 10 that IS a prime number COULD have
any of the digits  1,  3,  7,  or  9  in its units place.

It CAN't have a  0,  2,  4,  5,  6,  or  8 .

The only choice that includes all of the possibilities is  'A' .
