\longrightarrow{\green{ C. \:4 √(5) }}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}


= √(2) * √(5) * √(8)


= √(2 * 5 * 8)


= √(2 * 5 * 2 * 2 * 2)


= √((2 * 2) * (2 * 2) * 5)


= \sqrt{ {2}^(2) * {2}^(2) * 5}


= \sqrt{ {2}^(2) } * \sqrt{ {2 }^(2) } * √(5)


= 2 * 2 √(5)


= 4 √(5)

\sf Q) √(2) * √(5) * √(8)


\sf\implies √(2 * 5 * 8)


\sf\implies √(2 * 5 * 2 * 2 * 2)


\sf\implies √((2 * 2) * (2 * 2) * 5)


\sf\implies \sqrt{ {2}^(2) * {2}^(2) * 5}


\sf\implies \sqrt{ {2}^(2) } * \sqrt{ {2 }^(2) } * √(5)


\sf\implies 2 * 2 √(5)


\sf\implies 4 √(5)
