To find the total number of beads Kathy used, we'll calculate the number of beads used for the necklaces and the pairs of earrings separately, then add them together.

1. **Necklaces**:
Kathy made 5 necklaces, and each necklace used 8 beads.
Total beads for necklaces = 5 necklaces × 8 beads/necklace = 40 beads.

2. **Earrings**:
Kathy made 5 pairs of earrings, and each pair used 4 beads.
Total beads for earrings = 5 pairs × 4 beads/pair = 20 beads.

3. **Total beads used**:
Total beads = Total beads for necklaces + Total beads for earrings
Total beads = 40 beads + 20 beads = 60 beads.

Thus, Kathy used **60 beads in all**.

The correct answer is **60**.
