Since the different factors of 1024 are as follows:

1, 2, 4, 8,....., 1024

Now we need to find the sum of the above factors

Options A and B can be easily ruled out...
Out of options C, D and E, we know that option D and E are even which cannot be the case because sum of the factors will always be odd.
Therefore option D.

the sum cannot be 1023 because we need to find the sum of factors for 1024
and same for 1535. just adding 4 factors (1, 1024, 2, 512) gives us 1539
