Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The statement that is not an advantage of a solid dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor is:

it increases the electrical conduction of the capacitor.

In fact, one of the primary advantages of using a solid dielectric material between the plates of a capacitor is that it reduces electrical conduction between the plates. Dielectric materials are insulators, and they prevent the flow of electric current between the plates, thus increasing the capacitor's ability to store charge.
