I think the answer is C but I'd wait for someone more experienced to chime in here and confirm before you take my answer as correct .
Seems like just a combinatorics problem that's asking how many different combos can be made of 2 or more numbers out of the set of 9 numbers. Each combo = one element of V since the elements of V are just the sums of each combo.
You can take C(9,2) + C(9,3) + C(9,4) and multiply by 2 to get C(9,2) through C(9,7). The sum of C(9,2) through C(9,7) = 492. C(9,8) = 9 and C(9,9) = 1. Total = 502.
