Answer is 5 slot.

We’re told only stations 7 and 8 are ready.
1. Slot 1: Root (Stations 1–8)
Stations 7 and 8 both transmit → Collision.

2. Slot 2: Right Subtree (5–8)
Stations 7 and 8 still both transmitting → Collision

3. Slot 3: Right-Right Subtree (7–8)
Still both → Collision,

4. Slot 4: Station 7
Only station 7 transmits → Success.

5. Slot 5: Station 8
Only station 8 transmits → Success.
