To find out how many programs the programmer can write in a day, we first need to determine the rate at which they write programs over the given time frame.

The programmer can write 8 programs in 2 weeks. To convert weeks into days:

2 weeks = 2 × 7 days = 14 days.

Next, we calculate the rate of program writing per day:

\[
\text{Programs per day} = \frac{\text{Total programs}}{\text{Total days}} = \frac{8 \text{ programs}}{14 \text{ days}}.
\]

Now, performing the division:

\[
\text{Programs per day} = \frac{8}{14} = \frac{4}{7} \approx 0.5714.
\]

Thus, the programmer writes approximately 0.571 programs per day.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**B. 0.571 programs per day**.
