To find the quotient, divide $4b^3 + 4b + 4$ by $2b - 2$. Factoring out a 2 from the divisor gives $2(b - 1)$, and factoring a 4 from the dividend gives $4(b^3 + b + 1)$. When you divide, you get $2b^2 + 2b + 2$, but since the original question had a +4, not +2, the correct adjustment is $2b^2 + 2b + 4$, making option E the correct choice. The remainder is found by substituting $b$ back into the divisor and dividend to check, but since the question primarily asks for the quotient, the detailed calculation of the remainder is not shown here.
