Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

You neeed to use the trigonometric identity:


sin\alpha=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)

As you need to find sin∠A, you can identify in the right triangle that:


opposite=8\\hypotenuse=10\\\alpha=A

Finally, substitute the angle, the lenght of the opposite side and the lenght of the hypotenuse into
sin\alpha=(opposite)/(hypotenuse) to find sin∠A. Then, you get:


sinA=(8)/(10)

Reducing the fraction:


sinA=(4)/(5)

This is the option B.
