Solution
The correct option is D Electrolytic
A capacitor that uses an electrolyte to attain a larger capacitance than the other capacitor types is known as an electrolytic capacitor. It is generally made up of tantalum or aluminum (or some other materials may also be used).
These capacitors are used in filtering devices with rectifiers in various power supplies to reduce the voltage ripple.
