Solution

Given:  

\[A = \begin{bmatrix}0 & - 5 & 8 \\ 5 & 0 & 12 \\ - 8 & - 12 & 0\end{bmatrix}\]

\[A^T = \begin{bmatrix}0 & - 5 & 8 \\ 5 & 0 & 12 \\ - 8 & - 12 & 0\end{bmatrix}^T \] 

\[ = \begin{bmatrix}0 & 5 & - 8 \\ - 5 & 0 & - 12 \\ 8 & 12 & 0\end{bmatrix}\] 

\[ = - 1\begin{bmatrix}0 & - 5 & 8 \\ 5 & 0 & 12 \\ - 8 & - 12 & 0\end{bmatrix}\] 

\[ = - A\]

Therefore, matrix A is skew-symmetric matrix.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
