To calculate the standard time, we use the formula:

Standard Time = Rating Factor x Allowance Factor

In this case, the rating factor is 1.25, and the allowance factor is 5% or 0.05.

Standard Time = 1.25 x 0.05 = 0.0625 hours or 3.75 minutes

Therefore, the standard time for this job element is less than 8.0 minutes but greater than or equal to 7.5 minutes.

Hence, the correct answer is C.
