A planet of radius $R_{p}$ is revolving around a star of radius $R^{*}$, which is at temperature $T^{*}$. The distance between the star and the planet is $d$. If the planet's temperature is $f T^{*}$, then $f$ is proportional to
  • A$\sqrt{R^{*} / d}$
  • B$R^{*} / d$
  • C$R^{*} R_{p} / d^{2}$
  • D$\left(R^{*} / d\right)^{4}$
