Solution,
In an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal.
Given that,
Two sides of an isosceles triangle are 8 and 5 in length.
So, the length of the third side can be either 8 or 5 ( since it is an isosceles triangle)
Thus, the answer is D.
Please rectify if the logic is wrong.

Can't we use the Inequality theorem wherein the sum of two sides should be greater than the third side. Suppose 8 is the third side and sum of the other 2 sides are 5+5=10 (isosceles triangle). Hence proved third side is 8.
