Solution

Convection is the process of transfer of heat by the actual flow of particles of matter.
In solids, the particles are tightly packed together because of their strong interparticle force of attraction.
The particles in solids are not free to move, hence convection is not possible in solids.
Hence the correct statement is convection current is not possible in solids.
