Answer:
B. 8x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that all of these expressions can be simplified except for option B. 8x-1.
Option A has two like terms, 8x and -5x which could be reduced to 3x
Option B has two distinct terms, 8x and -1 which can only be combined into 8x-1
Option C has a leading negative, and can be simplified with the distributive property to be -8x + -3
Option D has a leading 8 that can be distributed to the term (x-2) to form 8x - 16.
Thus, choose option B.
Cheers.
