divisors will be
p^3=> 3 diff divisors
q^6=> 6 diff div
p^3*q^6=>18 diff div
and 1
adding 3+6+18+1=28

D is correct
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down , but how many times you get up

@Divya
no of divisors is multiplication of (powers of each primes +1)

Here power of p is 3 and that of q is 6
No of divisors=(p+1)(q+1)=(3+1)(6+1)=28.
