Items that are cut or copied are stored temporarily in:

The correct answer is (c) Clipboard
Explanation:
● The Clipboard is a temporary storage area in the computer's RAM.
● It holds the data you cut or copy until you paste it or copy something else.
Information Booster:
● In Windows 10, pressing Win + V opens the Clipboard history.
● ROM is permanent memory and cannot be used for copy-paste storage.
Additional Knowledge:

(A) ROM:
• ROM (Read-Only Memory) is permanent memory used to store the firmware and essential instructions for booting the system. It does not store temporary data like the clipboard.

(B) CPU:
• The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is responsible for executing instructions and processing data, but it does not directly store cut or copied items. Data moves through the CPU for processing, but temporary storage is handled by the clipboard or memory.

(D) BIOS:
• BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware that is stored on the motherboard to facilitate the startup process and hardware initialization. It does not store temporary data like copied items.
