\(20^6 = [(2^2)(5)]^6 = (2^{12})(5^6)\)
Distinct Prime factors - 2 and 5
\(32^{10} = (2^5)^{10} = 2^{50}\)
Distinct Prime factors - 2
Col. A: 2
Col. B: 1
Col. A > Col. B
Hence, option B

Does it even matter than the numbers listed are raised to an exponent? I.e. 20^6 would have the same number of distinct prime factors as just 20 since 20^6 = 20*20*20*20*20*20?
