The correct answer is (B), 2,000.

First, place the numbers in columns:

  500
×    4

Now, multiply the number in the ones column by 4 (0 × 4 = 0):

  500
×    4
      0

Next, multiply the number in the tens column by 4 (0 × 4 = 0):

  500
×    4
    00

Finally, multiply the number in the hundreds column by 4 (5 × 4 = 20):

  500
×    4
 2000

Therefore, the correct answer is (B), 2,000.

Alternative solution:

Start by multiplying the hundreds digit of 500 by 4:

500 × 4 → 5 × 4 = 20

Now you can write the two zeroes of 500 to the right of 20. This way, you get 2,000.
