As given by the question

There are given that the equation:


Ax+By=C

Now,

A vertical line has an undefined slope, and its equation is x = 8 because no matter what y is, x will always be 8.

But, you need it standard form Ax+By=C,

So, it written as: x + 0y = 8

Then,

The value of A is 1, B is 0 and C is 8

Hence, the correct option is B.
