Answer: First option

Explanation:

The distance between two points is calculated using the following formula


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2)

In this case we have the following points

W(0, 8) and X(0, 12)

Therefore


x_1 = 0\\x_2 = 0\\y_1=8\\y_2=12


d=√((0-0)^2 +(12-8)^2)


d=√((12-8)^2)


d=√((4)^2)


d=4
