To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of right shift operator (>>).
The right shift operator (>>) shifts the bits of a number to the right by a specified number of positions. In this case, we have the expression 16 >> 2, which means we are shifting the bits of the number 16 two positions to the right.
To perform the right shift operation, we need to convert the number 16 into its binary representation, which is 10000. Shifting the bits two positions to the right gives us 00100 in binary, which is equal to the decimal number 4.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 8.
