In a parallel plate air capacitor of plate separation '$d$',a dielectric slab of thickness '$t$' is introduced between the plates. The capacitance becomes one-third of the original value. The dielectric constant of the slab will be

  • A
    $\frac{t}{d + t}$
  • B
    $\frac{t}{2d + t}$
  • C
    $\frac{d - 2t}{2t}$
  • D
    $\frac{2d - t}{t}$
