In a parallel plate air capacitor of plate separation $d$,a dielectric slab of thickness $t$ is introduced between the plates $(t < d)$. The capacitance becomes one-third of the original value. The dielectric constant of the slab will be

  • A
    $\frac{t}{2 d+t}$
  • B
    $\frac{t}{d-2 t}$
  • C
    $\frac{t}{d+t}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 t}{2 d-t}$
