The given trinomial is

8x^2 + 2x - 3

We would factor it by applying the method of factorisation. We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is 2x and their product is - 24x^2. The numbers are 6x and - 4x. It becomes

8x^2 + 6x - 4x - 3

2x(4x + 3) - 1(4x + 3)

(2x - 1)(4x + 3)

Looking at the given options, the factor of this trinomial is option A.
