The language is very confusing:
"Sugar by water" means
Sugar/Water = 20%.
If you go ahead a solve it. It doesn't match the options
But if you consider "Sugar by Water" as Sugar/(Sugar + Water)= 20% and voila we have our answer as E. 2 litres.

Formula application will tell us that
sugar/total = 20% which in number terms is;
1.6/8 = 0.20
Now we need, to add water to the total which reduce this ratio;
1.6/(8+x) = 0.16
Solving for X we will get 1.3 something, closest to this answer is option E
Also, if we look at answer options we can get the right answer, in 8 litres of syrup if we add 4 litres of water then sugar will reduce by half to 10% but we need it to be at 16% so answer has to be less than 4 litres, which is option E
P.S :- If I'm wrong, pls correct me
