Correct Answer - B
The capacitance of a parallel plates capacitor is given by `C = (epsi_(0)A)/(d)` .
Where A is area of each plate, d is the distance between plantes,
`therefore " "(C_(1))/(C_(2)) = ((epsi_(0)A)/(d))/((epsi_(0)A)/(d//2)) = (1)/(2) therefore C_(2) = 2 C_(1)`
where dielectric of dielectric constant k is introduced in between the plates then the capacitance `C = ( k epsi_(0)A)/(d)` i.e., `C prop K` .
Capacitacne C depends on introduced dielectric .
