This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

μ4/μ2²

The coefficient of kurtosis β2 is given by the formula: β2 = μ4 / μ2², where μ2 and μ4 are the second and fourth moments about the mean. Therefore, option 3, "μ4/μ2²," is the correct answer.
