Solution:

The factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28. Therefore, the sum of the reciprocals of these numbers is:

1 + ½ + ¼ + 1/7 + 1/14 + 1/28 = 28/28 +14/28 + 7/28 + 4/28 + 2/28 + 1/28 = 56/28 = 2

(Note: The sum of the reciprocals of all the factors of a perfect number is always 2.)

Answer: C
