B. 3/4 has the distinct triangle-ish shape.

A. 2/4 has a 'J'-like shape measuring two beats
C. 4/4 has a similar triangle-like shape of the 3/4 but extends with a line to the left
D. 4/8 has the similar shape of the 4/4 but extends further to the left

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The shapes of the conduction patterns may be associated with geometrical forms, which may be very useful to learn them in a first approach.

the measure 2/4 looks like a small pipe or an inverted "J" letter.

The measure 3/4 looks like a 2/4 but more triangular, so this is the one that looks like a triangle.

The measure 4/4 looks like the 3/4, with a small loop in the bottom right,

the measure 4/8 looks like 4/4 but the loop is bigger and has more "jumps" that indicate each of the beats.
