Answer:

B. 1.75 microfarads

Step-by-step explanation:

When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance is equivalent to the sum of each individual capacitor's capacitance.

With this in mind, we have the values, 0.1, 0.6, 1.0, and 0.05, all microfarads. So simply, we need to sum these values.

0.1 + 0.6 + 1.0 + 0.05

= 0.7 + 1.0 + 0.05

= 1.7 + 0.05

= 1.75

So the total capacitance for this circuit would be 1.75 microfarads.

Cheers.
