B and C are absurd; if a series converges, it must have a sum, but if a series diverges, it cannot have a sum.
Now, notice that

That is, we can write the sum more compactly as

The series is geometric with common ratio

, so the series converges (and thereby has a sum), so the answer is D.
To do this set each of the factors to 0:
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Hope this helps!
