Out of the 8 employees, only 1 employee was sick for 7 days. This means that the frequency of sick days for that employee is 7/20 (since the total number of working days is not given, we assumed it to be 20). So the percentage of employees that were sick for 7 days is (1/8)*100 = 12.50%. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
