8. Answer: A
For I,
∵ BD is the angle bisector of ∠OBC.
∴ ∠CBE = ∠OBD
∵ OD = OB (radii)
∴ ∠ODB = ∠OBD (base s, isos. △)
∴ ∠ODE = ∠CBE
∠OED = ∠CEB (vert. opp. s)

∴ △OED ~ △CEB (AAA)
∴ I is true.
For II,
∵ There is not sufficient data to show
△OBD ~ △CBD.
∴ II may not be true.
For III,
∵ There is not sufficient data to show
△BOE ~ △DCE.
∴ III may not be true.
∴ The answer is A.
