Answer: The correct option is

(C) b = 5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of variable b in the following equation :

8-2b=-2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To find the value of b, we must solve the given equation.

From equation (i), we get

$8-2b=-2\\\\\Rightarrow 2b=8+2\\\\\Rightarrow 2b=10\\\\\Rightarrow b=(10)/(2)\\\\\Rightarrow b=5.$

Thus, the required value of b is 5.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
