Solution

The correct option is A is changing with time
Displacement current is given by
id=ϵ0dϕEdt
ϕE is the flux inside the capacitor.
Up to the time the electric Flux changes, there will be a displacement current. This is possible when the charge on the capacitor changes.
Therefore, displacement current goes through the gap between plates of the capacitor when the charge of the capacitor or electric field increases or decreases inside the capacitor.
So, the correct option is A
