Answer:

D. RAM is volatile, which means that it must be handheld with care when removed or replaced. A hard disk is not volatile, which means that it is much more resistant to movement during removal or replacement.

Explanation:

Most RAM (random access memory) used for primary storage in personal computers is volatile memory. Volatile memory contrasts with non-volatile memory, which does not lose content when power is lost. Non-volatile memory has a continuous source of power and does not need to have its memory content periodically refreshed.

Binary data is grouped together to represent symbols (e.g., text, pixels, etc.). Eight data bits can represent how many differen

Black_prince [1.1K]

Eight data bits can represent 64 symbols.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

All the computer system can understand only the binary data system. It consists of only 0 and 1. These binary digits can be grouped together for the representation of symbols. 256 values can be represented by 8 bits, 10 bits represent 1024 values.

The powers of two is considered as an important thing in this representation.Thus the eight bit of data can represent about 64 symbols. This is calculated by the power of two. The base is eight here. When 8 is multiplied with the power of two we get 64 symbols(8 * 8 =64).
