Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

When a capacitor is charged through a battery, its opposite plates are charged to a maximum value.
There is displacement current as the capacitor is being charged. i.e., and

Due to charging, changes and hence displacement current equal to conduction current arises while charging. i.e., .
When capacitor gets fully charged, the displacement current becomes zero i.e., and .
