Final answer:

The luminosity of a star can be calculated using the equation L = F × 4πd².

Step-by-step explanation:

The luminosity (L) of a star is given by the equation L = F × 4πd², where F is the energy flux and d is the distance. In the given equation, L=7.71×10²⁵W, which represents the luminosity of the star. So, the correct answer is b. L=7.71×10²⁵.
