Such kind of combinations problems are always about a pattern recognition.
Maximum pieces:
0 line gives 1 whole piece;
1 line will gives 2 pieces: 1+1=2;
2 lines will give 4 pieces: 2+2=4;
3 lines will give 7 pieces: 4+3=7;
4 lines will give 7+4=11 pieces.
Similarly:
5 lines will give 11+5=16 pieces;
6 lines will give 16+6=22 pieces;
7 lines will give 22+7=29 pieces.
So, generally kth line will add k new pieces.
Answer: E.
