Correct answer: C

In 8-bit 2’s complement representation, the leftmost bit is the sign bit (0 for positive, 1 for negative). The range of representable numbers is from -2^(n-1) to +2^(n-1) - 1, where n is the number of bits. For n = 8, this gives: -2^7 to +2^7 - 1, which is -128 to +127. Thus, the range is from -128 to +127.
