Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

We know that the displacement current is given by $$I_{\rm displacement }=\epsilon_0\dfrac{d\Phi_e}{dt}\tag 1$$ Recalling that the electric flux inside a capacitor is given by $$\Phi_e=EA\tag 2$$ where $A$ is the plate's area, and $E$ is the electric field between the two plates which is given by $$E=\dfrac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}$$ where $Q= V_CC$, $$E=\dfrac{ V_CC}{A\epsilon_0}$$ Plug into (2), $$\Phi_e=\dfrac{ V_CC}{A\epsilon_0}A =\dfrac{ V_CC}{ \epsilon_0}$$ Plug into (1), $$I_{\rm displacement }=\epsilon_0\dfrac{d}{dt}\dfrac{ V_CC}{ \epsilon_0}$$ $$\boxed{I_{\rm displacement }=C \dfrac{dV_C}{dt} }$$
