The potential differences that must be applied across the parallel and series combination of $3$ identical capacitors are such that the energy stored in them becomes the same. The ratio of the potential difference in the parallel combination to the series combination is:

  • A
    $1/4$
  • B
    $1/6$
  • C
    $1/3$
  • D
    $1/8$
