Answer 4

Because in A: it says that 2 is greater than or equal to 8

Answer 5

Correct.
2 ≥ 8 is read as "2 is greater than or equal to 8".
For that statement to be true, at least one of those conditions needs to be true.
2 is NOT greater than 8, and 2 is NOT equal to 8; therefore, that statement is false.

Now look at 8 ≤ 8
This statement is read as "8 is less than or equal to 8".
For that statement to be true, 8 needs to be less than 8, or 8 needs to be equal to 8.
8 is not less than 8, so that part is false, but 8 is equal to 8, so that part is true.
Since the word between the two conditions is "or", it is enough for only one condition to be true, so 8 ≤ 8 is true.
