Let's list a few terms and look for a pattern

term1 = 64 = 2^8
term2 = (2^8)(2^2)
term3 = (2^8)(2^2)(2^3)
term4 = (2^8)(2^2)(2^3)(2^4)
.
.
.
term8 = (2^8)(2^2)(2^3)(2^4)(2^5)(2^6)(2^7)(2^8)
.
.
.
term11 = (2^8)(2^2)(2^3)(2^4)(2^5)(2^6)(2^7)(2^8)(2^9)(2^10)(2^11)

So, term11/term8 = (2^8)(2^2)(2^3)(2^4)(2^5)(2^6)(2^7)(2^8)(2^9)(2^10)(2^11)/(2^8)(2^2)(2^3)(2^4)(2^5)(2^6)(2^7)(2^8)
= (2^9)(2^10)(2^11)
= 2^30

Answer: E
