It's B. You enter 4 instead of x on the right side and see what you get.

Answer: B. -4

Explanation:

We are given the function :
f(x)=4x-20

To find the value of f(4), we substitute the x equals to 4 in the above function and then simplify it to get the answer.

i.e. At x= 4 ,
f(4)=4(4)-20

Now, simplify the above expression, we get


f(4)=16-20=-4

Therefore, the correct option is Option (B.) -4 .
