The correct answer among the choices given above is option B. To fully understand the statement, we understand each word and write it in an algebraic form.

The product of a number and 5 is no more than 8.

The product of a number and 5 would mean 5n where n is the number. No more than 8 means that 5n is not greater than or is less than 8. Therefore, the inequality is

5n<8
