In computer terminology, what does 'RAM' stand for?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Random Access Memory
Explanation:
· RAM is the primary memory of a computer that stores data currently being processed by the CPU.
· It is called "Random Access" because any byte of memory can be accessed directly without touching the preceding bytes.
· It is Volatile memory, meaning it loses all stored information when the power is turned off.
Information Booster:
· There are two main types: SRAM (Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM).
· Higher RAM capacity allows a computer to handle more tasks simultaneously ( Multitasking).
· RAM is much faster for the CPU to access than a Hard Drive or SSD.
Additional Knowledge:
· ROM (Read Only Memory) – Non-volatile memory used for permanent instructions like BIOS.
· Cache Memory – Extremely fast memory located close to the CPU for frequently used data.
