Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

The susceptibility (χe) can be calculated by dividing the bound charge density by the free charge density. In this case, the ratio is 12/6 = 2. Therefore, the susceptibility is 2. Susceptibility measures the extent to which a material can become polarized when exposed to an electric field.
