Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{V C}{e}, V C$
For the circuit (i), diode has higher voltage at p-side, so it is forward-biased and acts as short.
Thus capacitor discharge through capacitor.
$q = q_{0} e^{- t / R C} = C V e^{- t / R C}$
at $t = R C, q = C V e^{- C R / C R} = C V / e$

For the circuit (ii), diode has higher voltage on the n-side, so it is reversed-biased and acts as open circuit.
So the capacitor is isolated and its charge stays the same.
So $q = C V$
Option C is correct.
