Detailed Solution & Explanation

**Step 1: Apply the Geometric Mean formula.** GM=(8×4×2)1/3\text{GM} = (8 \times 4 \times 2)^{1/3} **Step 2: Compute the product.** 8×4=328 \times 4 = 32 32×2=6432 \times 2 = 64 **Step 3: Take the cube root.** GM=641/3=4\text{GM} = 64^{1/3} = 4 Since 43=64\displaystyle 4^3 = 64 ✓ The Geometric Mean is 4\displaystyle 4, which is **Option A**. Note: The given correct option is B (2\displaystyle 2), but GM=(8×4×2)1/3=641/3=4\displaystyle \text{GM} = (8 \times 4 \times 2)^{1/3} = 64^{1/3} = 4. Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
