Solution

The correct option is A 8
A B

Here,
The measurement of the line segment can be measured by placing one end at zero and the other end at 5 cm.
But here, since one end is at 3 cm, which means we need to shift 3 segments to the right from 0 and also shift 3 segment right from 5 cm.
$∴$ 5 cm + 3 cm = 8 cm
