The correct answer is D. 5

The expression can be simplified as follows:

1. \(log_2 8\) can be simplified to 3 because 2 raised to the power of 3 equals 8.
2. \(log_3 \frac{1}{9}\) can be simplified to -2 because 3 raised to the power of -2 equals \(\frac{1}{9}\).

So, \(log_2 8 - log_3 \frac{1}{9} = 3 - (-2) = 5\).
