The correct answer is: $\frac{X_{C}}{4}$
Capacitive reactance $\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \mathrm{fC}}$
$\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}}=\frac{\mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{4} \\
\therefore \mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{c}}}{4}
\end{array}$
