    The correct option is:

    Kevin is correct because 3 girls + 5 boys = 8 students. Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio of the number of girls and number of boys in a classroom are:

    3:5

    Now, kevin says that:

    The total number of students in the classroom must be 8.

    This means that if there would be 3 girls and 5 boys then the ration of boys and girls will be: 3:5 and also the total number of students in the classroom will be:

    Number of girls + Number of boys

    = 3+5=8 students
