Question diagram
A

The capacitor allows current to flow freely as in a resistive circuit.

B

The capacitor completely prevents any current from flowing in the circuit.

C

The capacitor limits or regulates the current but does not fully stop it.

D

The capacitor converts the AC voltage into a DC voltage across its plates.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In a purely capacitive AC circuit, the capacitor limits or regulates the current but does not completely prevent it from flowing as indicated in the NCERT context.
