We need to identify which pair of physical quantities have the same dimensions.
For Option A, electric displacement $$\vec{D}$$ and surface charge density are considered.
From Gauss's law in dielectrics: $$\vec{D} = \varepsilon_0 \vec{E} + \vec{P}$$, and for a surface, $$\oint \vec{D} \cdot d\vec{A} = Q_{free}$$.
Therefore, $$[D] = \dfrac{[Q]}{[A]} = \dfrac{C}{m^2}$$
Surface charge density: $$[\sigma] = \dfrac{[Q]}{[A]} = \dfrac{C}{m^2}$$
Both have the same dimensions $$[AT L^{-2}]$$. This is correct.
For Option B, displacement current and the electric field are compared.
Displacement current has dimensions of current: $$[A]$$
Electric field has dimensions: $$[MLT^{-3}A^{-1}]$$
These are not the same.
For Option C, current density and surface charge density are compared.
Current density: $$[J] = \dfrac{[A]}{[L^2]} = [AL^{-2}]$$
Surface charge density: $$[\sigma] = \dfrac{[AT]}{[L^2]} = [ATL^{-2}]$$
These differ by a factor of $$[T]$$, so they are not the same.
For Option D, electric potential and energy are compared.
Electric potential: $$[ML^2T^{-3}A^{-1}]$$
Energy: $$[ML^2T^{-2}]$$
These are not the same.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
