    b. 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the least common denominator we need to find the least common multiple.

    Therefore;

    multiples of 2 = 2,4,6,8,10, etc

    multiples of 8 = 8,16,24,32,40, etc

    Find the least common multiple out of these ...

    Then that would equal to 8.

    least means the lowest common that's why it is 8.
