To find the correct drawing that corresponds to the new scale of 1 box = 20 meters, we first need to calculate the dimensions of the rectangle in the new scale based on the original dimensions of 8 units long and 4 units wide with a scale of 1 box = 5 meters.

1. **Original dimensions**:
- Length: 8 units
- Width: 4 units

2. **Convert original dimensions to meters**:
- Length in meters = 8 units × 5 meters/unit = 40 meters
- Width in meters = 4 units × 5 meters/unit = 20 meters

3. **Convert to new dimensions** with the scale of 1 box = 20 meters:
- New Length in boxes = 40 meters ÷ 20 meters/box = 2 boxes
- New Width in boxes = 20 meters ÷ 20 meters/box = 1 box

In summary, with the new scale, the rectangle should be 2 units long and 1 unit wide.

Now, we check the provided options:

- **First Option**: 2 units long and 1 unit wide (Correct)
- **Second Option**: 16 units long and 8 units wide (Incorrect)
- **Third Option**: 6 units long and 3 units wide (Incorrect)
- **Fourth Option**: 3 units long and 2 units wide (Incorrect)

The correct drawing that shows the new scale (1 box = 20 meters) is the first option with the rectangle measuring 2 units long and 1 unit wide.
