The correct option is B $4$ Geese

$6$ Ducks
The ratio of geese to ducks in a lake is $2:3$

Let's calculate the possible number of geese and ducks in the lake.

For that, let's determine the ratio of the each given option.

Ratio of $3$ Geese and $9$ Ducks $=1:3$

Ratio of $8$ Geese and $4$ Ducks $=4:2$

Ratio of $4$ Geese and $6$ Ducks $=2:3$

Ratio of $2$ Geese and $4$ Ducks $=1:2$

Here, the ratio of $4$ Geese and $6$ Ducks makes $2:3$.
Hence, this is the correct option.
