$A$ capacitor is made of a flat plate of area $A$ and a second plate of stair-like structure as shown in the figure. The area of each stair is $\frac{A}{3}$ and the height is $d$. The capacitance of the arrangement is

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{3 d}$
  • B
    $\frac{6 \varepsilon_0 A}{11 d}$
  • C
    $\frac{3 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}$
  • D
    $\frac{11 \varepsilon_0 A}{18 d}$
