First, let's evaluate the expression inside the parentheses: 
- x < y is false, because 5 is not less than 3 
- z > x is true, because 8 is greater than 5 
Therefore, the entire expression inside the parentheses is true (because of the "or" operator).

Next, let's apply the "not" operator: not true is false.

Finally, we evaluate the second part of the expression: y < z is true, because 3 is less than 8.

The overall expression is false and Choice B is the correct answer.
