Option A, 4 years, is incorrect because it is too short of a period compared to the correct answer. Option B, 5 years, is incorrect because it is also too short of a period. Lastly, Option D, 10 years, is incorrect because it is too long of a period compared to the correct answer. Option C, 8 years, is the correct answer because it accurately states the time frame for the validity of a Tennessee handgun carry permit.
