Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$x+8=10$

To solve this equation, we need to subtract 8 from both the sides and this property is known as subtraction property of equality.

According to the subtraction property of equality the equations a=b and a-c=b-c are equivalent.

$x+8-8=10-8$

$x+0=2$

Then the conclusion is

$x=2$

Therefore the correct option is C. Subtraction property of equality is used to arrive at the given conclusion.
