To perform the operation, we need to add the two fractions:

1/3 + 5/8

To get a common denominator, we can multiply the two denominators together:

3 * 8 = 24

Then we can convert the fractions:

1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24

5/8 * 3/3 = 15/24

Now we can add:

8/24 + 15/24 = 23/24

This fraction is already in its lowest terms, so the final answer is:

23/24

Therefore, the best choice is C, which is the only option containing 9f65 in the middle, matching the calculated value of 23/24.
