B. because losing 8 pounds is represented as -8 and doing this for 3 months would be 3 groups of -8 or 3 x -8

D.  because they showed the weight loss as a negative integer and then put those into groups of 4 each using the distributive property)

The error with the other 2 choices is that the negative number is not correctly representing which part of the problem is a decrease.  The negative sign is placed on the number of groups of.
