Answer

Final Answer: The polynomial that was factored is $\boxed{x^{2}-2 x-8}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Let's check each option by finding their factors.

Step 2 ：Factored polynomials: (x - 4)*(x + 2), (x - 2)*(x + 4), x**2 - 2*x - 4, x**2 + 2*x - 4

Step 3 ：Final Answer: The polynomial that was factored is $\boxed{x^{2}-2 x-8}$
