The correct answer is E.

Let’s analyze each option:
\(2^9 = (2^3)^3\), therefore, \(2^9\) is a perfect cube number.
\(3^8 = (3^4)^2\), therefore, \(3^8\) is a perfect square number.
\(4^7 = (2^2)^7 = 2^{14} = (2^7)^2\), therefore, \(4^7\) is a perfect square number.
\(5^6 = (5^3)^2\), therefore, \(5^6\) is a perfect square and perfect cube number.
\(6^5\) cannot be written with different base. So, this is the answer!
