d
For each prime k≥5, choose a prime divisor p of 2k−1 and a prime divisor q=3 of 2k+1. Their orders are k and 2k, respectively, so p≡1(modk), q≡1(mod2k), and the criterion in part (c) shows pq is a base-two pseudoprime. The supplied gcd fact makes examples from distinct prime k distinct, so there are infinitely many.
