Solution

The correct option is C $8 - 1 = 7$
Total number of birds $= 8$
Number of birds that flew away $= 1$
Number of remaining birds $= 8 - 1$

On a number frame, if we place $8$ counters first and remove 1 later, the counters left will be $7$ .
$8 - 1 = 7$

Hence, Option A is correct, and there are $7$ birds remaining on the tree.
