To find the radius of a cylinder given its height and volume, we use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

where \(V\) is the volume, \(r\) is the radius, and \(h\) is the height.

In this case, the volume \(V = 81\pi\) cubic units and the height \(h = 4\) units. Plugging these values into the volume formula, we get:

\[
81\pi = \pi r^2 (4)
\]

We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by \(\pi\):

\[
81 = r^2 (4)
\]

Now, divide both sides by 4:

\[
r^2 = \frac{81}{4}
\]

Taking the square root of both sides to find \(r\):

\[
r = \sqrt{\frac{81}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{4}} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5
\]

The radius of the cylinder is \(4.5\) units.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**4.5 units**.
