Official Explanation
If a is even, then 8/a is not in lowest terms, since both a and 8 are divisible by 2. Therefore, the only possibilities are 31, 33, 35, 37, and 39; but \(\frac{5}{35}=\frac{1}{7}\) and \(\frac{13}{39}=\frac{1}{3}\), so only 3 integers—31, 33, and 37—satisfy the given condition.
Answer: C
