Step 1
We know that equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. Hence, we need to calculate the value of  4/8 as a start.

                           4/8  =  4÷8  =  0.5


From here, only fractions that are equivalent to 4/8 will have the value of 0.5.

Step 2
Now, Let's calculate value of 1/5.

                           1/5  =  1÷5  =  0.2


Since the value of  1/5 is not equals to 0.5, this fraction is not equivalent to 4/8.

Step 3
Next, as for  1/2,

                           1/2  =  1÷2  =  0.5


The value of  1/2 is equals to 0.5. Hence, this fraction is equivalent to 4/8.

Step 4
Next, as for  12/24,

                           12/24  =  12÷24  =  0.5


The value of  12/24 is equals to 0.5. Hence, this fraction is equivalent to 4/8.

Step 5
Finally, let's find out the value of  6/10.

                           6/10  =  6÷10  =  0.6


Since the value of 6/10 is not equals to 0.5, this fraction is not equivalent to 4/8.

Step 6
Only II and III is equivalent to 4/8. Clearly, the answer is B.
