$A$ parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of $C_0$. If a dielectric slab of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r$ and thickness equal to one-fourth of the distance between the plates is inserted,the new capacitance is $C$. Then,the ratio $\frac{C}{C_0}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{5\varepsilon_r}{4\varepsilon_r + 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{4\varepsilon_r}{3\varepsilon_r + 1}$
  • C
    $\frac{3\varepsilon_r}{2\varepsilon_r + 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\varepsilon_r}{\varepsilon_r + 1}$
