(D) Let the capacitance of each identical condenser be $C$.For $n$ identical capacitors connected in parallel,the equivalent capacitance is $C_{\|} = nC$.For $n=4$,$C_{\|} = 4C$.For $n$ identical capacitors connected in series,the equivalent capacitance is $C_{s} = \frac{C}{n}$.For $n=4$,$C_{s} = \frac{C}{4}$.The ratio of equivalent capacitance in series to that in parallel is $\frac{C_{s}}{C_{\|}} = \frac{C/4}{4C} = \frac{1}{16}$.Thus,the ratio is $1: 16$.
