A capacitor `C_1` of capacitance `1muF` and a capacitor `C_2` of capacitance `2muF` are separately charged by a common battery for a long time. The two capacitors are then separately discharged through equal resistors. Both the discharge circuits are connected at `t = 0`.

A

The current in each of the two discharging circuits is zero at `t = 0`

B

The currents in the two discharging circuits at `t = 0` are equal but not zero

C

The currents in the two discharging circuits at `t = 0` are unequal.

D

`C_1` loses 50% of its initial charge sooner than `C_2` loses 50% of its initial charge.
