from the options taking factors of each integer except itself
A. factors of 12 1,2,3,4,6
sum of factors =16
so 12 is not a perfect number
B.factors of 18 1,2,3,6,9
sum of factors =21
so 18 is not a perfect number
C.factors of 20 1,2,4,5,10
sum of factors =22
so 20 is not a perfect number
D.factors of 21 1,3,7
sum of factors =11
so 21 is not a perfect number
E.factors of 12 1,2,4,7,14
sum of factors =28
so 28 is a perfect number
option E is correct
A. factors of 12 1,2,3,4,6
sum of factors =16
so 12 is not a perfect number
B.factors of 18 1,2,3,6,9
sum of factors =21
so 18 is not a perfect number
C.factors of 20 1,2,4,5,10
sum of factors =22
so 20 is not a perfect number
D.factors of 21 1,3,7
sum of factors =11
so 21 is not a perfect number
E.factors of 12 1,2,4,7,14
