The scenario involves grouping 32 students by dividing them into a group consisting of 8 members.

To make an equation in getting the number of groups it'll be, we will divide the 32 students by 8 and let x represents the number of groups.

Let,

8x = A group consisting of 8 students.

Therefore, the equation for this problem is:


\text{ 8x = 32}

The number of groups must be equal to the total number of students (32) when being multiplied by 8 (8 members per group).

Therefore, the answer is letter C.
