A) $a _ { n } = 8 n - 6$
B) $a _ { n } = 6 n - 3$
C) $a _ { n } = 6 n - 8$
D) $a _ { n } = 8 n - 3$

The general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is $a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d$, where $a_1$ is the first term and $d$ is the common difference. Substituting $a_1 = 2$ and $d = 8$ gives $a_n = 2 + (n - 1)8 = 8n - 6$.
