    Question


    In computers, RAM stands for:

    A.

    Read Across Memory

    B.

    Read Access Memory

    C.

    Random Across Memory

    D.

    Random Access Memory

    Correct option is D

    RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is the temporary memory in a computer that stores data and programs that are currently being used by the system. It allows the CPU to access data much faster than from a hard drive or other permanent storage devices.
    Important Key Points:
    1. RAM is a form of volatile memory, meaning it loses its data when the power is turned off.
    2. The speed of RAM directly impacts a computer's performance in handling tasks.
    Knowledge Booster:
    · Read Across Memory: Not a valid term related to computer memory.
    · Read Access Memory: Incorrect, as RAM refers to Random access, not just reading.
    · Random Across Memory: This is also incorrect. The term Random Access Memory allows any byte of memory to be accessed without touching preceding bytes.
