B. 2^16
C. 2^17
D. 2^18
E. 2^19
2^20 - 2^19 - 2^18 - 2^17 = 2^17(2^3 - 2^2 - 2^1 - 1)
= 2^17(8 - 4 - 2 - 1)
= 2^17(1)
= 2^17

Answer: C

Test an analogous case with easier values:
2� - 2³ - 2² - 2¹ = 16 - 8 - 4 - 2 = 2¹
The matching blue portions imply the following:
2²� - 2¹� - 2¹� - 2¹� = 2¹�

The correct answer is C.

Simplifying we have:

2^17(2^3 - 2^2 - 2^1 - 1) = 2^17(8 - 4 - 2 - 1) = 2^17
