Answer:

D

Explanation:

A shift of 4 units horizontally left means subtract 4 from the x- coordinate, leaving the y- coordinate unchanged.

A shift of 4 units horizontally right means add 4 to the x- coordinate while leaving the y- coordinate unchanged.

Hence translation rule is

(x, y) → (x - 4, y), that is

(- 4, 6) → (- 4 - 4, 6) → (- 8, 6)
