The question asks to find which ratio of stars to hearts is equivalent to 2:4.

First, simplify the given ratio of 2 stars to 4 hearts:
\[
2:4 = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
So, the equivalent ratio should have 1 star for every 2 hearts.

Let's check the options shown in the image:
- **A**: 2 stars and 6 hearts → Ratio is \(2:6\), which simplifies to \(1:3\) (not equivalent).
- **B**: 2 stars and 4 hearts → Ratio is \(2:4\), which simplifies to \(1:2\) (this is equivalent).
- **C**: 4 stars and 8 hearts → Ratio is \(4:8\), which simplifies to \(1:2\) (also equivalent).

Therefore, the correct answers are **B** and **C**.
