Answer:

B

Explanation:

assuming you mean
8C_(6)

using the definition

n
C_(r) =
(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

where n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) × 3 × 2 × 1

then

8
C_(6)

=
(8!)/(6!(8-6)!)

=
(8!)/(6!(2!))

= (8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) / (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 2 × 1

cancel (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 ) on numerator / denominator

= (8 × 7 ) / 2 × 1

= 56 ÷ 2

= 28

Apologies for formatting.
