    B

    Explanation:

    To determine which fraction is bigger, we need to get every fraction under the same denominator.

    In set A, 3, 8 and 5 have an LCM of 24

    So we multiply (which we can because 8/8 = 1, 3/3 = 1, etc.)

    2/3 times 8/8 - > 16/24

    3/8 times 3/3 - > 9/24

    and

    5/12 times 2/2 - > 10/24

    Since 10 > 9 but 9 comes before 10 in the set, A cannot be the answer, so B is.
