Three capacitors each of capacity $4\,\mu F$ are to be connected in such a way that the effective capacitance is $6\,\mu F$. This can be done by:

  • A
    Connecting them in parallel
  • B
    Connecting two in series and one in parallel
  • C
    Connecting two in parallel and one in series
  • D
    Connecting all of them in series
