Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The for the coefficient of thermal conductivity is

$K _{th}=\dfrac{Q\Delta x}{A\Delta T t}$
Dimensional formula of $K _{th}$
$[K _{th}]=\dfrac{[Heat].[length]}{[Area].[Temperature].[time]}$
$[K _{th}]=\dfrac{[ML^2T^{-2}].[L]}{[L^2].[K].[T]}$
$[K _{th}]=[MLT^{-3}K^{-1}]$
