To determine how many shelves Beth will need, we need to divide the total number of boxes (38) by the number of boxes each shelf can hold (8).
38 divided by 8 equals 4 with a remainder of 6.
This means that each shelf can hold 4 boxes completely, and there will be 6 boxes left over.
Since there are extra boxes remaining, Beth will need an additional shelf to hold these remaining boxes.
Therefore, Beth will need 5 shelves in total.
The correct answer is option C) 5.
