B Correct answer
Explanation

An 8-digit date (YYYYMMDD) requires 8 bytes if stored as characters (1 byte per digit/character). With only 5 bytes available, you cannot store all 8 digits. You would need compression or a different encoding scheme, but standard storage requires matching bytes to characters.
