Final answer:

The ranking of capacitors based on their capacitance depends on factors such as the plate area, separation distance, and dielectric constant. Without specific values for these parameters, we cannot provide an exact ranking.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rank the capacitance of each capacitor from highest to lowest, we need to consider the factors that influence capacitance.

The capacitance (C) of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the formula C = ε₀(εₗ)(A/d), where ε₀ is the permittivity of free space, εₗ is the relative permittivity (dielectric constant) of the material between the plates, A is the area of one of the plates, and d is the separation distance between the plates.

Capacitors with a larger plate area (A), a smaller separation distance (d), or a material with a higher dielectric constant (εₗ) between the plates will have a higher capacitance.

To accurately rank the capacitance, we need specific information about these parameters for each capacitor.
