B,E Correct answer
Explanation

Lee Haney (1984-1991) and Ronnie Coleman (1998-2005) are the only two bodybuilders to have won the Mr. Olympia title exactly 8 times, sharing the record for most victories. Haney set the record first with 8 consecutive wins, and Coleman matched it 14 years later. Arnold Schwarzenegger won 7 times, not 8 (1970-1975 plus 1980), making him incorrect for this specific question about 8-time winners.

AI explanation

Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman are the only two bodybuilders to have won the Mr. Olympia title eight times each. Haney won consecutively from 1984 to 1991, and Coleman matched that feat from 1998 to 2005. Arnold Schwarzenegger, though iconic, won seven times (1970, 1972-1975... with a comeback win in 1980), one short of eight. Ed Corney and Tom Platz were accomplished competitors but never won Mr. Olympia. Dorian Yates won six consecutive titles (1992-1997), also short of eight. So Haney and Coleman are uniquely tied at the top of the win count.
