For an arithmetic sequence, the first term (a) is given by A₁, which is 8. The common difference (d) is also given as 8. To find the next term, we add the common difference to the previous term. Thus, the second term is a + d = 16, third term is a + 2d = 24, fourth term is a + 3d = 32, and fifth term is a + 4d = 40. Therefore, the first five terms of the sequence are 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40, which matches with choice C.
