$A$ series combination of resistor $R$ and capacitor $C$ is connected to an a.c. source of angular frequency $\omega$. Keeping the voltage same, if the frequency is changed to $\omega/3$, the current becomes half of the original current. Then the ratio of capacitive reactance and resistance is

  • A
    $\sqrt{6}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{0.3}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{0.6}$
