$A$ parallel plate air-filled capacitor of capacitance $C_1$ has plate area $A$ and the distance between the plates $d$. When a metal sheet of thickness $\frac{d}{2}$ and of the same area $A$ is introduced between the plates,its capacitance becomes $C_2$. The ratio $C_2: C_1$ is

  • A
    $4: 1$
  • B
    $2: 1$
  • C
    $3: 1$
  • D
    $3: 2$
