Answer 1

Answer:

Option C: ram

Explanation:

• Ram stands for random access memory
• In any computing device, RAM is a hardware part which stores Operating System (OS) and all the currently running programs, so that they can reach the processor quickly when needed.
• RAM is the main memory of a computer and it is faster than any other storage memory present.
• RAM is volatile. Which means that as soon as the power is cut all the data is lost. So RAM can not store data permanently.
• Basically RAM has two types namely:

1. SRAM (static RAM)
2. DRAM (dynamic RAM)
