Three identical capacitors, each of capacitance \(C\), are connected in a wye configuration meeting at an isolated central node \(P\).

Terminal \(A\) is connected to an ideal battery maintaining a constant electric potential \(V_0\), terminal \(B\) is connected to ground (\(0\text{ V}\)), and terminal \(C\) is initially disconnected, with node \(P\) carrying zero net charge.

A switch is then closed, connecting terminal \(C\) directly to ground.

Which row in the table correctly identifies how the electric potential at node \(P\), the magnitude of the charge on the capacitor connected to terminal \(A\), and the total electrostatic energy stored in the network change after the switch is closed?

	Electric Potential at Node \(P\)	Charge on Capacitor \(A\)	Total Stored Energy
(A)	Decreases	Decreases	Decreases
(B)	Decreases	Increases	Increases
(C)	Decreases	Increases	Decreases
(D)	Increases	Decreases	Increases
