Consider a capacitor of capacitance $C$, with plate area $A$ and plate separation $d$, filled with air [Fig. (a)]. The distance between the plates is increased to $2d$ and one of the plates is shifted as shown in Fig. (b). The capacitance of the new system now is :
(A) $\frac{C}{4}$
(B) $\frac{C}{2}$
(C) $2C$
(D) $4C$
