The image shows a multiple-choice question asking about the product of 8 multiplied by \(\frac{1}{3}\), and which statement must be true about this product.

Let's calculate:

\[
8 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \approx 2.67
\]

Now let's analyze each statement:

- **a. The product is greater than 8.**  
  This is **false** because \(\frac{8}{3}\) is approximately 2.67, which is less than 8.

- **b. The product is between \(\frac{1}{3}\) and 8.**  
  This is **true** because \(\frac{8}{3}\) (approximately 2.67) falls between \(\frac{1}{3}\) and 8.

- **c. The product is less than \(\frac{1}{3}\).**  
  This is **false** because \(\frac{8}{3} \approx 2.67\), which is greater than \(\frac{1}{3}\).

- **d. The product is between 7 and 8.**  
  This is **false** because \(\frac{8}{3}\) is approximately 2.67, which is less than 7.

So, the correct answer is **b**: "The product is between \(\frac{1}{3}\) and 8."
