The equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel is less than the smallest resistor in the group. The configuration and values of resistors in the figure (not provided here) would determine the exact calculation, but based on the options, 8 Ω is a reasonable equivalent resistance for a typical parallel or series-parallel combination.
