Actually, we can guess the answer. Junction capacitance is inversely proportional to reverse voltage. Here reverse voltage is more so capacitance has to be less.

Here’s the equation in a simple copy-paste format:

Csubj = Csub0/sqrt(1 + Vsubr/Vsub0).

Given:
Vr = 4V (reverse bias).
V0 ≈ 0.7V (built-in potential for silicon).
Since junction capacitance decreases with increasing reverse bias, the expected value is 20 pF.
Final Answer: 20 pF.
