Which of the following is a type of volatile memory in a computer system?

Hard Disk

D.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) RAM.
Explanation:

● ROM, Hard Disks, and External Storage Devices are non-volatile, meaning they retain data even without power.
Information Booster:
● Volatile Memory: Requires power to maintain stored information (e.g., RAM, Cache).
● Non-volatile Memory: Does not require power to maintain stored information (e.g., ROM, Flash memory, HDD, SSD).
Additional Knowledge:
● RAM is used for temporary data storage that the CPU needs to access quickly.
