Answer:

Option C. The graph would shift 4 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The function

[tex]y=x^{2}+6[/tex] ----> is a vertical parabola with a vertex at (0,6)

[tex]y=x^{2}+2[/tex] ----> is a vertical parabola with a vertex at (0,2)

so

The rule of the translation is

[tex](x,y)------> (x,y-4)[/tex]

That means------> The translation is 4 units down
