The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Convert inductance into henry.
Given, \[ L=\frac{60}{\pi}\ \text{mH} \] Since \[ 1\ \text{mH}=10^{-3}\ \text{H}, \] we get \[ L=\frac{60}{\pi}\times 10^{-3}\ \text{H} \] \[ L=\frac{0.06}{\pi}\ \text{H} \]

Step 2: Calculate inductive reactance.
Inductive reactance is \[ X_L=2\pi fL \] Substituting values, \[ X_L=2\pi(50)\left(\frac{0.06}{\pi}\right) \] \[ X_L=100\times 0.06 \] \[ X_L=6\ \Omega \]

Step 3: Calculate impedance of LR circuit.
Impedance is \[ Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_L^2} \] Substituting \[ R=8\ \Omega,\qquad X_L=6\ \Omega, \] we get \[ Z=\sqrt{8^2+6^2} \] \[ =\sqrt{64+36} \] \[ =\sqrt{100} \] \[ Z=10\ \Omega \]

Step 4: Final conclusion.
Hence, the impedance of the circuit is \[ \boxed{10\ \Omega} \]
