x cannot be negative because a negative number, x, cannot be greater than the non-negative value of |x + 8|.
x cannot be 0, because |0 + 8| = 8, and 8 is not less than 0.
For positive x, since x + 8 > 0, we'd have |x + 8| = x + 8. Thus, when x is positive, the inequality becomes x + 8 < x, which simplifies to 8 < 0, which is not correct. Therefore, for positive x, the inequality also does not have a solution.
Answer: A.

\(|x+8|<x\)
-x < x + 8 < x
-x - 8 < x < x - 8
-8 < x < -8
IMO, A = 0
