Options:

a

b

c

d

Correct Answer:

c

Explanation:

Electric Field near earth's surface is given by $E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$

$\Rightarrow \sigma = \epsilon_0 E$

Charge $Q = \sigma \times 4\pi R^2 = \epsilon_0 E\times 4\pi R^2 = -680kC$.

Charge is negative because electric field is inwards.
