In what way the internal construction of the op-amp contribute to capacitive effect in op-amp?

(a) Formation of junction capacitor

(b) Due to internally connected capacitors

(c) Formation of stray capacitor

(d) None of the mentioned

I had been asked this question in an internship interview.

My question comes from High Frequency Op-Amp Equivalent Circuit in division Operational Amplifier Applications of Linear Integrated Circuits

The correct choice is (c) Formation of stray capacitor

Illuminate the topic with: In op-amps a number of transistors, resistors and capacitors are integrated on the same substrate. In fact substrates act as an insulator and separate these components. So, the various components are connected by conducting paths. However, when two conducting paths are separated by an insulator, it acts as a capacitor (stray capacitor).
