(a, d) For house hold supplies, AC currents are used which are having zero average value over a cycle.
The line is having some resistance so power factor cos φ = R/Z≠0
so, φ not equal to π /2 ⇒ φ < /2
i.e., phase lies between 0 and π /2.

(c, d) When the AC voltage is applied to the capacitor, the plate connected to the positive terminal will be at higher potential and the plate connected to the negative terminal will be at lower potential.

The plate with positive charge will be at higher potential and the plate with negative charge will be at lower potential. So, we can say that the charge is in phase with the applied voltage.
P= ErmsIrmscos
=90
So power, P = 0

According to the question power transferred Is P = I2 Z cos?
as we know cos? = R/Z
R>0 and Z>0
cos? >0 so P>0

We have to transmit energy (power) over large distances at high alternating voltages, so current flowing through the wires will below because for a given power (P).
P= ErmsIrms, Irms is low when Erms is high.
Power loss= I 2 rms R= low

(c, d) According to the question, the current increases on increasing the frequency of supply. Hence, the reactance of the circuit must be decreases as increasing frequency.
For a capacitive circuit, capacitive reactance Xc=
For an CR circuit Z= when frequency increases X decreases.
