= [2�(1 + 2 + 2² + 2³)]²
= [2�(15)]²
= (2� * 3 * 5)²
= 2¹�3²5².
The correct answer is E.

Therefore, E is the answer.
Answer : E
$$\left(2^5+2^6+2^7+2^8\right)^2$$
$$=\left(2^5\left(2^0+2^1+2^2+2^3\right)\right)^2$$
$$=\left(2^5\left(1+2+4+8\right)\right)^2$$
$$=\left(2^5\left(15\right)\right)^2$$
$$=\left(2^5\left(3\cdot5\right)\right)^2$$
$$=2^{10}\cdot3^2\cdot5^2$$
Therefore, E is the answer.
