To calculate the number of transactions Aglaya recovered, we need to first calculate the total number of transactions that could have been recorded during the 16-hour period.

Total number of transactions during 16 hours: 
8,000 transactions/hour x 16 hours = 128,000 transactions

Since the recovery time objective is 240 minutes or 4 hours, Aglaya could recover the transactions recorded during the first 4 hours of the hardware malfunction.

Number of transactions recorded during the first 4 hours: 
8,000 transactions/hour x 4 hours = 32,000 transactions

Therefore, the answer is C) 32,000 transactions.
