general equation of a line is


y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept or the value of y when x=0

from the table the value when x=0 is 4,then


y=mx+4

now we can replace a point of the table to find m(slope) I will use the point (8,12)


\begin{gathered} (12)=m(8)+4 \\ 12=8m+4 \\ 12-4=8m \\ 8=8m \\ m=1 \end{gathered}

slope is 1

then the solution equation is


y=x+4

and right option is b) y=x+4
