Final answer:

The terms eighth note, quarter note, half note and whole note refer to different note durations in music. An eighth note gets half a beat in 4/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat, a half note gets two beats, and a whole note gets four beats. Therefore the correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms A) Eighth note, B) Quarter note, C) Half note and D) Whole note all refer to different durations of notes in music.

An eighth note is half the duration of a quarter note, it gets one-half of a beat in 4/4 time.

A quarter note is one note that equals one beat in 4/4 time, or a quarter of a whole note.

A half note is a note that gets two beats in 4/4 time, or half of a whole note.

Lastly, a whole note is a note that gets four beats in 4/4 time, which is an entire measurement in this particular rhythm.
