The scenario asks how much tax Riley will pay for a pair of shoes that cost $90, given that the sales tax rate is 8%.

To calculate the tax:

\[
\text{Tax} = \text{Cost of shoes} \times \text{Tax rate}
\]

\[
\text{Tax} = 90 \times 0.08 = 7.20
\]

So, Riley will pay **$7.20** in tax. The correct answer is **C. $7.20**.
