In the given diagram, we are asked to identify a pair of alternate exterior angles and name the two lines and the transversal that form the pair.

### Step-by-step analysis:
1. **Understanding Alternate Exterior Angles**: 
   Alternate exterior angles are formed when a transversal crosses two parallel lines. They are located on opposite sides of the transversal and outside the parallel lines.

2. **Labeling the Diagram**: 
   - Lines \( a \parallel b \) are parallel lines.
   - Line \( c \) is the transversal cutting through \( a \) and \( b \).
   
   The angles outside of the two parallel lines are labeled as:
   - Exterior angles on the left: \( \angle 1 \) and \( \angle 8 \)
   - Exterior angles on the right: \( \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 7 \)

3. **Identifying Alternate Exterior Angles**:
   - From the definition, we know that alternate exterior angles must be on opposite sides of the transversal (line \( c \)).
   - \( \angle 1 \) (left of transversal) is alternate to \( \angle 8 \) (right of transversal).
   - \( \angle 2 \) (left of transversal) is alternate to \( \angle 7 \) (right of transversal).

### Answer:
The correct pair of alternate exterior angles from the options provided is **\( \angle 2 \) and \( \angle 7 \)**, which matches option **B**.
