Hi
 B.  (0, −8); x = 0  (x-axis)

y   = |x| − 8.

Wish You the Best in your Studies.

            The response from @ewatrrr may confuse you.

            Therefore,  I came to provide a correct/(accurate) answer. 


The axis of symmetry is  x= 0, which is y-axis.   (@ewatrrr MISTAKENLY calls it x-axis).

The vertex is (0,-8),
