What is the permanent memory built into your computer called?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) ROM

Explanation:
• ROM stands for Read-Only Memory.
• It is considered permanent (non-volatile) memory because it retains its data even when the power is turned off.
• It is built into the computer's motherboard and contains essential instructions like the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) needed to start the computer.
• The data in ROM is typically written during manufacturing and cannot be easily changed or erased by normal operations.
• It is crucial for the boot-up process of a computer system.

Information Booster:
• Volatile memory (like RAM) loses data when power is lost.
• Non-volatile memory (like ROM) keeps data without a power supply.

Additional Knowledge:
RAM (Option a)
• Random Access Memory is temporary (volatile) memory used for running applications.

Floppy (Option b)
• A floppy disk is an obsolete external magnetic storage medium, not 'built-in' permanent memory.

CPU (Option c)
• The Central Processing Unit is the 'brain' of the computer that processes instructions, not a memory storage type.

So the correct answer is (d)
