The correct answer is:
\( 4 \mu F \)
Given, capacitance of each capacitor,
The given circuit can be redrawn as shown in the figure:

Clearly, this is a balanced Wheatstone bridge circuit. So, we can remove the middle capacitor.

Now, the two capacitors in each of upper and lower branches are connected in series. So, equivalent capacitance in each branch is

Now as the capacitors are in parallel, so equivalent capacitance is
