Correct option is C
The document is temporarily stored in
RAM (Random Access Memory) while working on a PC. RAM is volatile memory, which means it stores data only when the computer is powered on. It allows for quick access to data and is used to hold the data temporarily until the user saves the document or closes the application. When the system is turned off, all data in RAM is lost unless saved to a more permanent storage medium like a hard disk.
Important Key Points:
1.
RAM is responsible for temporary storage of active documents and processes.
2. Data in RAM is lost when the computer is powered off, making it volatile memory.
