$\frac{8}{32}$

$\frac{8}{16}$

$\frac{8}{12}$ reduces to $\frac{2}{3}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 4).

$\frac{8}{4}$ reduces to 2 (divide numerator and denominator by 4).

$\frac{8}{2}$ reduces to 4 (divide numerator and denominator by 2).

$\frac{8}{32}$ reduces $\frac{1}{4}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 4).

$\frac{8}{16}$ is the only one that reduces to $\frac{1}{2}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 8).
