Solution
The correct option is D conduction current, displacement current Current does not flow through the capacitor . But the current that flows out of one electrode of capacitor equals the current that flows in to the other electrode. The net effect is as if there is a current flowing through the path containing the capacitor. This is known as displacement current.
But current actually flows through the resistor known as conduction current.
