- The initial run rate for the first 20 overs is 2.4 runs per over.

- In 20 overs, the total runs scored would be 2.4 x 20 = 48 runs.

- The target is to reach 308 runs, hence: 308 - 48 = 260 runs are needed in the remaining 30 overs.

- To find the required run rate: 260 runs / 30 overs = 8.67 runs per over, which rounds to 8.7 when given to one decimal place.

- Therefore, the correct option is Option 4: 8.7, which represents the needed run rate in the remaining overs.

So, the correct answer is:

Option: 4, 8.7
