(B) In a series $R-C$ circuit, the impedance is given by $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_C^2}$, where $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}$.When a dielectric of constant $K = 4$ is inserted, the new capacitance becomes $C' = KC = 4C$.Consequently, the new capacitive reactance becomes $X_C' = \frac{1}{\omega (4C)} = \frac{X_C}{4}$.Since $X_C' The current in the circuit is $I = \frac{V}{Z}$. Since $Z'  I_R^A$ (Statement $B$ is true).The voltage across the capacitor is $V_C = I X_C = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + X_C^2}} X_C = \frac{V}{\sqrt{(R/X_C)^2 + 1}}$.As $X_C$ decreases, the term $(R/X_C)^2$ increases, which makes the denominator $\sqrt{(R/X_C)^2 + 1}$ larger.Therefore, $V_C$ decreases when $X_C$ decreases. Thus, $V_C^A > V_C^B$ (Statement $C$ is true).Hence, the correct statements are $(B)$ and $(C)$.
