Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When this whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to a height $h^{\prime}$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $\frac{h}{h^{\prime}}$ is

  • A
    $1+\frac{d}{R}$
  • B
    $1-\frac{d}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{R+d}{R-d}$
  • D
    $\frac{R-d}{R+d}$
