In the adjoining figure,capacitors $(1)$ and $(2)$ have a capacitance $C$ each. When a dielectric of dielectric constant $K$ is inserted between the plates of one of the capacitors,the total charge flowing through the battery is:

  • A
    $\frac{KCE}{K + 1}$ from $B$ to $C$
  • B
    $\frac{KCE}{K + 1}$ from $C$ to $B$
  • C
    $\frac{(K - 1)CE}{2(K + 1)}$ from $B$ to $C$
  • D
    $\frac{(K - 1)CE}{2(K + 1)}$ from $C$ to $B$
