Because when any element acts like open circuit then all source v/g will available across the that element.

Once the capacitor is connected to the DC voltage source, it will charge up to the voltage that the DC voltage source is outputting.

So,
If a capacitor is connected to a 9-volt battery, it will charge up to 9 voltage. Similarly, the answer is 6 volt.

The Answer should be D because capacitor block DC.

Answer is option D.

Xc = 1/2 * 3.14 * f * c.
In dc,
The frequency is zero.
So 1/0=infinite.

As they mentioned capacitors are connected in parallel across 6 we battery.

In parallel voltage will be same. So voltage across 330pf will be 6v.

Question is say each component is connected across a 6volt source so Capacitor is in parllel so in parllel voltage across ecah component is equal.

@ALL.

In parallel the voltage is constant.

Answer is 0.

Because in DC supply capacitor acts as open circuit.

6 volt is correct. Both the capacitors are connected in parallel. Each Capacitor will get charged up to 6 volt and then current flow will stop in the circuit.

@Rajesh.

In parallel, the voltage is same but not constant.
