Assuming the sun to have a spherical outer surface of radius $r$, radiating like a black body at temperature $t^\circ C$, the power received by a unit surface (normal to the incident rays) at a distance $R$ from the centre of the sun is
where $\sigma$ is the Stefan's constant.
A
$\dfrac{r^2\sigma(t + 273)^4}{4\pi R^2}$
B
$\dfrac{16\pi^2 r^2\sigma t^4}{R^2}$
C
$\dfrac{r^2\sigma(t + 273)^4}{R^2}$
D
$\dfrac{4\pi r^2\sigma t^4}{R^2}$
The answer is C.
