A Correct answer
Explanation

'In' correctly indicates the time duration needed to complete a past action. 'In two hours' means he completed the eight-mile walk within two hours. 'For' would suggest the walking continued for two hours (not completion), 'at' shows specific time, 'by' means before, and 'with' doesn't express duration.
