To analyze the function \( Y = 4 \sqrt{x} - 2 \), we will determine the domain and range.

**Domain:**
The term \( \sqrt{x} \) implies that \( x \) must be non-negative for the function to be defined. Therefore, the domain is:
\[
x \geq 0 \quad \text{or} \quad [0, \infty)
\]
This means the domain of the function is the set of all non-negative real numbers.

**Range:**
To find the range, we can evaluate \( Y \):
- Since \( \sqrt{x} \) can take on any non-negative value, \( 4 \sqrt{x} \) also takes on all non-negative values but scaled by 4. Thus, as \( x \) approaches 0, \( Y \) approaches \( 4 \cdot 0 - 2 = -2 \).
- As \( x \) increases to infinity, \( 4 \sqrt{x} \) increases to infinity as well, which means \( Y \) also increases to infinity.

Therefore, the minimum value of \( Y \) is \(-2\) (when \( x = 0\)), and there is no upper bound, resulting in the range:
\[
Y \geq -2 \quad \text{or} \quad [-2, \infty)
\]

Based on this analysis, we conclude that:
- The domain is the set of all non-negative real numbers.
- The range is \([-2, \infty)\), which is not one of the provided options.

However, among the options given, the one that most closely aligns with our findings is:
**The domain of the function is the set of all non-negative real numbers and the range is the set of all real numbers.**

Please note that while this exact range is slightly off, it characterizes that the function is defined for \(x \geq 0\).

Thus, the most accurate choice is:
**"The domain of the function is the set of all non-negative real numbers and the range is the set of all real numbers."**
