To represent the situation described, we need to account for the total amount Ana spent on movie tickets and snacks.
Ana bought 2 movie tickets (one for herself and one for Marisol) at $8 each, which totals to \( 8 \times 2 = 16 \). She also spent some amount \( s \) on snacks. The total amount spent is given as $26.
So, the equation that represents this situation is:
\[
8 \times 2 + s = 26
\]
Thus, the correct answer is:
**A. \( 8 \times 2 + s = 26 \)**
