Note:
SInce 4, 8 and 16 can be written as 2², 2³, and 2�, respectively, the 7 options above include all of the viable options for 4, 8 and 16.
3²...3� --> 4 options
Note:
Since 9 can be written as 3², the 4 options above include all of the viable options for 9.
5² and 5³ --> 2 options
6² and 6³ --> 2 options
7², 10², 11², 12², 13², 14², 15², 17² --> 8 options
Total options = 7+4+2+2+8 = 23.
The correct answer is B.
