1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\left(\frac{j^{15}}{8}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}$$ and find which of the given options is equivalent.
2. **Recall the exponent rule:** For any expression $$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^m = \frac{a^m}{b^m}$$ and for powers of powers $$\left(x^n\right)^m = x^{nm}$$.
3. **Apply the power to numerator and denominator:**
$$\left(\frac{j^{15}}{8}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{\left(j^{15}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}{8^{\frac{2}{3}}}$$
4. **Simplify numerator:**
$$\left(j^{15}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = j^{15 \times \frac{2}{3}} = j^{10}$$
5. **Simplify denominator:**
$$8^{\frac{2}{3}} = \left(2^3\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = 2^{3 \times \frac{2}{3}} = 2^2 = 4$$
6. **Combine numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{j^{10}}{4}$$
7. **Conclusion:** The expression simplifies to $$\frac{j^{10}}{4}$$ which corresponds to answer choice A.
**Final answer:** $$\boxed{\frac{j^{10}}{4}}$$
