The correct answer is: $500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Displacement current } i_d=c \frac{d V}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \times 10^{-3}=4 \times 10^{-6} \times \frac{d V}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{2 \times 10^{-3}}{4 \times 10^{-6}}=\frac{d V}{d t} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{d V}{d t}=500 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$
