    A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let

    x = the number of phone available

    If it would require 8 more phones, then the total number of phones will be x + 8.

    A company hired an additional 12 employees, and every employee needed a phone, then

    x + 8 = 12

    x = 4

    This means 4 phones were available (and 8 more needed to total in 12 phones for 12 new employees)

    Hence, correct option is option A.
