AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. The section of the circuit that smoothes out the highest degree of pulsations is the section labeled C, which contains a filter capacitor. The filter capacitor helps to reduce the ripple or pulsations in the output voltage by storing and releasing energy to stabilize the voltage. This is a key component in power supply circuits to provide a smooth, consistent output. The other sections (A, B, D) do not contain the necessary filtering components to achieve the same degree of pulsation reduction as the filter capacitor in section C.
