Final answer:

Upon the intersection of a transversal with two lines, it forms 4 pairs of corresponding angles, 2 pairs of alternate interior angles, and 2 pairs of alternate exterior angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a transversal intersects two lines, it creates eight different angles resulting in 4 pairs of corresponding angles, 2 pairs of alternate interior angles, and 2 pairs of alternate exterior angles. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is 'B. 4, 2, 2.' Corresponding angles are in matching corners when the lines are drawn on a plane. Alternate interior angles are the pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but inside the two lines. Alternate exterior angles are the pairs of angles on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two lines.
