The Attempt at a Solution

should the charge=0 sicne by connecting wires across the capacitor you are discharging it

Your "attempt" is not a valid line of reasoning. Try again, but first:

Does the question indicate whether the initial state (immediately after the connection) or the final state (after "some time" has passed) is wanted? The answers are completely different.

Answer the answers to either state requires no calculation.
