Answer:

Shifted down 4 units.

Explanation:

The translated graph is given by
$\log x -4$

The parent function is y = log x

We know the below rule of transformation of graph:

Rule: If a function f(x) is translated "a" units downward then the translated function would be f(x)-a

Here, log x is translated as log x - 4 which means a = 4

Hence, from the above rule, the graph of the function y = log x will be translated 4 units downward to get the graph of log x - 4

Therefore, last option is correct.
