101
103
109
113
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The smallest 3-digit number is 100, which is divisible by 2.

100 is not a prime number.

101 < 11 and 101 is not divisible by any of the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.

101 is a prime number.

Hence 101 is the smallest 3-digit prime number.

Apply digital root, 1 + 0 + 0 = 1 and 1 is not a prime number.
101---1 + 0 + 1 = 2 and 2 is a prime number. So, 101 is the answer.
