Correct answer
6

Step-by-step explanation


Point 3 and 4 are at same potential, hence we can replace the capacitor with a wire.


Capacitors between points A and 3 are in parallel combination as shown above and their combined capacitance value will be 3C.

This 3C capacitance is in series with C.
The equivalent capacitance of the system between points A and B is, 
CAB=3C×C3C+C=3C4
CAB=34×8 μF=6 μF
