Answer: Choice A

Step-by-step explanation:

The number
√(8) is irrational. We cannot write it as a ratio or fraction of two integers. This is because 8 isn't a perfect square.

Multiplying any irrational number with a rational one leads to an irrational product.

In short:

irrational*rational = irrational

Therefore, the perimeter
4√(8) is also irrational.
