By observing the diagram, we can see that the six capacitors can be arranged in parallel to form three groups of two capacitors in series, each group having a capacitance of 3F1F1F1S1F1F1F10F. These three groups can then be arranged in parallel, giving a total capacitance of 6F1F1F1S1F1F1F10F between points a and b. Therefore, the answer is C.
