To find the area of this figure, we can split it up into two rectangles.

The first rectangle has a length of 8 inches and a width of 4 inches, so its area is 8 x 4 = 32 square inches.

The second rectangle has a length of 4 inches and a width of 8 inches, so its area is 4 x 8 = 32 square inches.

Adding these two areas together, we get a total area of 32 + 32 = 64 square inches.

Therefore, the answer is option B, 64 square inches.
