Synergids are two, short-lived, haploid cells lying close to the egg in the mature embryo sac of flowering plant ovule. While the endosperm is a triploid tissue formed after triple fusion. Thus, if the synergids have 8 chromosomes, the aleurone layer (part of the endosperm) will have just triple of that of chromosomes in the synergids, i.e. 24 chromosomes. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
