The amplitude of a sine function in the form \( f(t) = A \sin(Bt - C) + D \) is given by the absolute value of the coefficient \( A \).

In the function \( f(t) = 3 \sin(5t - \frac{\pi}{8}) + 7 \), the coefficient \( A \) is 3.

Thus, the amplitude is 3, meaning the maximum value of the function will be 3 units above the midline, and the minimum value will be 3 units below the midline.

Therefore, we can conclude:
- The amplitude is 3, and the graph is vertically stretched by a factor of 3.

So the correct response is:
**The amplitude is 3, and the graph is vertically stretched by a factor of 3.**
