Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

If the dimensions of the given rectangle is doubled,

Area of the new rectangle = 2(Length) × 2(width)

= 4(Length × width)

= 4(x)(x - 2)

= 4[x² - 2x]

= 4x² - 8x

Therefore, Option (4) will be the correct option.
