For a number to be divisible by 8, the last three digits of the number must be divisible by 8.

Here, the last three digits are 8, 7 and *.

Let's try the options one by one:

(a) If * is 1, the last three digits become 871. 871 is not divisible by 8.

(b) If * is 2, the last three digits become 872. 872 is divisible by 8.

So, the smallest whole number in place of * that makes the number 91876*2 divisible by 8 is 2.

Therefore, the answer is (b) 2.
