Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for square

The perimeter formula for a square is $P = 4s$, where $s$ is the side - length of the square.

Step2: Substitute side - length value

Given $s = 4$ feet. Substitute $s = 4$ into the formula $P=4s$. So $P = 4\times4$.

Step3: Calculate the perimeter

$4\times4=16$ feet.

Answer:

B. 16 feet
