Answer

(e) $\frac { 3}{2} C$

Work Step by Step

let $C_1$ be the equivalent capacitance of the two capacitors in series $\frac{!}{C_1} = \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$ $C_1 = \frac {1}{2} C$ now equivalent capacitance of the whole combination $C_{eq} = C_1 + C = \frac{1}{2} C +C $ $C_{eq} = \frac { 3}{2} C$
