    Question

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

    A.

    ROM

    B.

    RAM

    C.

    Hard Disk

    D.

    External Storage Device

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) RAM.
    Explanation:
    ● RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory, meaning it loses its data when the power is turned off.
    ● 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.
