The image contains a mathematical problem related to stability and equilibria, with multiple parts to solve:

**Problem Statement:**

(a) Use the stability criterion to characterize the stability of the equilibria of the recursive sequence given by: 
\[ x_{t+1} = \frac{8x_t^2}{7 + x_t^2}, \quad t = 0, 1, 2, \ldots \]

(b) Use cobwebbing to find the limit that \( x_t \) converges to as \( t \to \infty \) for the initial values:
   - (i) \( x_0 = 0.5 \)
   - (ii) \( x_0 = 2 \)

**Multiple-Choice Question:**

Select the correct choice regarding the equilibria and their stability, and if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete the choice.

- A. The stable equilibria are \( x = \) [ ], and the unstable equilibria are \( x = \) [ ].
  - (Type integers or simplified fractions. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

- B. The unstable equilibria are \( x = \) [ ]. There are no stable equilibria.
  - (Type an integer or a simplified fraction. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

- C. The stable equilibria are \( x = \) [ ]. There are no unstable equilibria.
  - (Type an integer or a simplified fraction. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)

- D. There are no equilibria.

**Instructions:**

The reader is prompted to use mathematical techniques such as stability analysis and cobwebbing to solve the problem, entering integers or simplified fractions in the answer boxes provided. The question tests the understanding of concepts related to recursive sequences and stability in a mathematical context.
