Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In an AC (Alternating Current) circuit, the current changes direction periodically, allowing it to "flow" through a capacitor by charging and discharging it alternately. In a DC (Direct Current) circuit, once the capacitor is fully charged, current no longer flows through it.
