1. The probability of getting an even digit in a single position is  
   $$
   \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2},
   $$
   since the even digits are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

2. For an eight-digit license plate number, assuming each digit is independent, the probability that all eight digits are even is  
   $$
   \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^8 = \frac{1}{256} = 0.00390625.
   $$

3. This calculation uses the classical method, which computes probabilities based on equally likely outcomes and a combinatorial reasoning process.

Answer: C. Classical method.
The probability is calculated using the classical method.
