C=Aε0t1K1+t2K2+t3K3
If any one or more of the  K value(s) is/are increased, the capacitance increases. K of a conductor is infinity 
Replace x by conductor -  K increases Option (A) is correct
Replace y by dielectric -   K decreases Option (B) is wrong
Replace z by conductor -  K increases Option (C) is correct
Replace x by dielectric -  K increases Option (D) is correct
