It's C
Its just as easy as substituting value of 'n' and checking options.

sum= 4+44+444+.........+tn
sum= 4+ 44+.........+tn-1+tn

subtracting above two equations we get

0=4+40+400+.............+(tn-tn-1)-tn
tn=(4+40+400+...n terms)
tn=4*(10^(n)-1)/(10-1) -- G.P summation
sum=sigma of tn
sum=4/9*(sigma of 10^(n)-sigma of 1)
sum=4/9*[10*(10^(n)-1)/(10-1)-n]
sum=option 'C'
