Re: WAV format 8khz A-Law 8bit mono - how to export
For "Mono", ensure that your project is mono before you export. If it contains one or more stereo tracks, use "Tracks menu > Mix > Mix Stereo Down to Mono" to convert the track(s) to mono.
For "8 kHz" (sample rate), set the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacity interface) to 8000 before you export.
For "8 bit A-Law":
"File menu > Export > Export as WAV"
then select "A-Law" as the encoding.
(A-Law is always 8-bit in Audacity)

Assuming that you are using the current Audacity version 2.4.2:
That gives you "WAV (Microsoft)".
