    A 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B -2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C -5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E -3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Second lowest prime number = 3.
    S1: 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13
    First term of S2 = 4th term of S1 = 11
    S2: 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19.
    Let S3: a, a + 2, a + 4, a + 6 and a + 8
    Average of S3 = 6
    (5a + 20)/5 = 6
    => a + 4 = 6
    => a = 2.
    S3: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10
    Difference between the greatest term of S3 to the middle term of S2
    = 10 - 15 = −5
