Lower limit of the MOA altitude range?

MOA airspace is defined by vertical boundaries on the chart, with a lower limit and an upper limit that show where the airspace is active. The lower limit is the bottom of the MOA: below that altitude, the MOA doesn’t affect operations. In this case, the MOA begins at 8000 feet MSL, meaning from 8000 feet MSL up to its upper limit the area is MOA, and below 8000 feet MSL you’re outside the MOA. So the lower limit being 8000 MSL is why that choice is the correct one.
