The mean of 8 grades being 3.75 permits us to compute the sum of those 8 grades as 8*3.75 = 30. Then, we can write an equation which gives us the sum of the last four grades, as $$\frac{30+x}{12} = 4$$ from which we know x = 18, the sum of the last four grades.

Now we just have to check which choices sum to 18. B and D sum to 18, thus they are the answers!
