- Aimpede the passage of DC but will pass the AC component
- Bimpede both DC and AC
- Creadily pass the DC but will impede the flow of the AC component
- Dreadily pass the DC and the AC component
Correct answer: C — readily pass the DC but will impede the flow of the AC component. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
