Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.
