Answer: B; 8p \geq 38

Explanation:

(Please respond if I'm wrong)

The current answers are:

A || B || C || D || E

It can't be E, nor D, because we need a full slice for everyone, and there is only 8 slices per pie.

So, these are the current answers:

A || B || C

8p < 38 isn't the right choice, since 8p is less than 38 people.

So, these are the current answers:

A || B

38 \geq 8p isn't the right answer as well, since the people can't be greater than the slices

The right answer is B; 8p \geq 38. The reason is because the slices have to be greater than the amount of people.
