Answer:
Stanzas are defined as a system of grouping and division in poetry of the lines of a poem. These stanzas usually consist of lines of words, grouped between four lines and sometimes many more, and are characterized by the similar pattern in length, meter and rhyming style between the lines. Stanzas are very much like the paragraphs that appear in prose but in order for them to be cohesive, and work as a grouping, all the lines in a stanza must match in the structures mentioned before.
There are different styles of stanza formation, especially regarding the number of lines that will be placed in each grouping. This gives the poet the freedom to establish his/her own style of writing, when compared to other poets, and express his/her meaning through the particular stanzas that he/she chooses to use. Length of stanzas may be varied by a poet, depending on his/her purpose. As such, the answer to your question is:
1. A stanza of two lines: couplet
2. A stanza of four lines: quatrain
3. A stanza of six lines: sestet
4. A stanza of eight lines: octave.
