First, read the Introduction to R to understand what dataframes are and how
to access data within them. Then correct you code so it does not have
error: 'x' has a trailing comma and 'y' was not call the 'c' function.
Once you have done that, you might get the following:
> x<-c(5,9,8,3,4,5,6,7)
> y <-c("a", "b","c", "d","e","f", "g","h")
>
> D <- data.frame(x,y)
>
> str(D)
'data.frame': 8 obs. of 2 variables:
$ x: num 5 9 8 3 4 5 6 7
$ y: Factor w/ 8 levels "a","b","c","d",..: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
> D$y[which.max(D$x)]
[1] b
Levels: a b c d e f g h

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
