1. The problem asks to find $f(0)$ for the function $f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 4$. 2. To find $f(0)$, substitute $x=0$ into the function: $$f(0) = 0^2 - 4 \times 0 - 4$$ 3. Simplify the expression: $$f(0) = 0 - 0 - 4 = -4$$ 4. Therefore, $f(0) = -4$. However, none of the provided options match $-4$. It seems there might be a mistake in the options or the problem statement. Since the first question is about evaluating $f(0)$, we only solve this one as per instructions.
