The correct answer is: 8

When raising a negative number to an odd power, the result will also be negative. In this case, (-2)3 will result in a negative value. Option A, -8, is the correct value of (-2)3 when written as a positive. This is because raising a negative number to an even power will result in a positive value. Option B, -6, is an incorrect value as it does not take into account the negative sign. Option D, 6, is an incorrect value as it does not take into account the negative sign.
