Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) SRAM
Explanation: (Information about the correct answer):
• SRAM stands for Static Random Access Memory.
• It uses flip-flops to store each bit of data and does not need to be periodically refreshed to maintain the charge.
• Due to this architecture, it is significantly faster than DRAM (Dynamic RAM).
• It is more expensive and consumes more power when active compared to DRAM.
• It is commonly used as cache memory in processors because of its high speed.
Information Booster: (additional info around the correct answer):
• SRAM is volatile, meaning data is lost when the power supply is turned off.
• It takes up more space on a chip than DRAM because it requires more transistors (usually 6) per bit.
Additional Knowledge: (Information about incorrect options):
Flash Memory (Option b)
• A type of non-volatile storage that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed; used in USB drives and SSDs.
ROM (Option c)
• Read-Only Memory is non-volatile and used to store the BIOS/firmware that boots the computer.
DRAM (Option d)
• Dynamic RAM is slower than SRAM and requires constant refreshing thousands of times per second to retain data.
So the correct answer is (a)
