$96$ has the largest number of unique prime factors.

Explanation:

Prime factors of $135$ are $3$ and $5$ as $135=3xx3xx3xx5$

Prime factors of $62$ are $2$ and $31$ as $62=2xx31$

Prime factors of $96$ are $2$ and $3$ as $96=2xx2xx2xx2xx2xx3$

Hence, all these numbers have just two prime numbers as factors, but $96$ has the largest number of unique prime factors.
