(C) Given $a_n = \sum_{r = 0}^n \frac{1}{^nC_r}$.Let $b_n = \sum_{r = 0}^n \frac{r}{^nC_r}$.Using the property $^nC_r = ^nC_{n-r}$,we can write:$b_n = \frac{0}{^nC_0} + \frac{1}{^nC_1} + \frac{2}{^nC_2} + \dots + \frac{n}{^nC_n}$.Also,$b_n = \frac{n}{^nC_n} + \frac{n-1}{^nC_{n-1}} + \dots + \frac{0}{^nC_0} = \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n-r}{^nC_r}$.Adding these two expressions for $b_n$:$2b_n = \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{r + (n-r)}{^nC_r} = \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n}{^nC_r} = n \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{1}{^nC_r}$.Since $a_n = \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{1}{^nC_r}$,we have $2b_n = n a_n$.Therefore,$b_n = \frac{1}{2} n a_n$.

If $a_n = \sum_{r = 0}^n \frac{1}{^nC_r}$,then $\sum_{r = 0}^n \frac{r}{^nC_r}$ equals
