Gravida refers to the total number of pregnancies, including the current one. Para refers to the number of pregnancies that have carried past 20 weeks and resulted in a delivery, whether or not the infant was born alive.

In this case, the woman has had 3 pregnancies (current one + 2 past pregnancies). One of them terminated at 8 weeks, so it did not result in a delivery past 20 weeks. The other two resulted in live births, so the woman's para is 2.

Therefore, the correct answer is C - Gravida 4 para 2.
