Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of beats per second produced when two sounds are played together is equal to the difference in frequencies between the two sounds. Since 8 beats are produced in 4 seconds, 2 beats will be produced in one second, and the frequency difference is 2 Hz.
