To determine Jasmine's current elevation, we start at sea level, which is considered 0 feet.

1. Jasmine swims down 8 feet below sea level:
\[
0 - 8 = -8 \text{ feet}
\]
Now, she is at -8 feet.

2. Then, she swims back up 3 feet:
\[
-8 + 3 = -5 \text{ feet}
\]

So, Jasmine is now at an elevation of **-5 feet**. The correct response is **-5**.
