Answer:

Option C. The graph would shift 4 units down

Explanation:

we know that

The function


y=x^(2)+6 ----> is a vertical parabola with a vertex at (0,6)


y=x^(2)+2 ----> is a vertical parabola with a vertex at (0,2)

so

The rule of the translation is


(x,y)------> (x,y-4)

That means------> The translation is 4 units down
