Answer:

A. the line is parallel to the x axis

Explanation:

B is incorrect because it will be intersecting the y axis therefore not being parallel

C is incorrect because It doesn't pass through the origin (origin is (0, 0) btw) it actually passes thru the point (0, 8) so this choice is wrong

D is incorrect because It doesn't give us enough info that the slope is 8 so we can't tell. Also if y = 8 it will just be a straight line so the slope will actually be 0 im pretty sure

A is correct because it is parallel if y = 8 and x axis kept going in a straight line they will never touch so that means it it parallel
