Tessellate S.T.E.M.S. (2019) - Mathematics - Category A (School) - Set 3 - Objective Problem 4

Suppose that n n and k k are positive integers such that 1 = φ ( φ ( φ ( k times n ) ) ) 1 = \underbrace{\varphi( \varphi( \dots \varphi(}_{k\ \text{times}} n) \dots )) where φ ( n ) \varphi(n) denotes the number of elements of { 1 , , n } \{1, \dots, n\} which are relatively prime to n n . Which of the following is the sharpest upper bound for n n ?
