Detailed Solution

From Stefan's law, the total energy emitted per second by a unit area of a black body is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature, i.e.

E  T4 or  E= σT4

where σ is the Stefan's constant. Thus 

σ= ET4

∴   SI unit of σ = SI unit of energy per secondSI unit of area × (SI unit of temperature)4

                        = watt(meter)2 × (kelvin)4  = W m-2 K-4

Hence the correct choice is 4
