B

Explanation:

Formula

Mechanical advantage = length of the ramp / height

Givens

Length of the ramp = 8

Mechanical advantage = 2

height = ?

Solution

2 = 8feet / height                                  Multiply both sides by height

2* height = 8 feet * height / height      Combine

2* height  = 8 feet                                 Divide by 2

2*height/2 = 8 feet/2                              

height = 4 feet.
