Which of the following best suits the statement below? It's the main memory of the computer system and is volatile

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is the best fit for the statement because it is the main memory of the computer system and is volatile. RAM is a type of computer memory that is used to store data that is currently being used by the computer's operating system and applications. RAM is volatile because it loses its contents when the power supply to the computer is turned off or interrupted. RAM is also faster and more expensive than other types of memory, such as ROM, PROM, or hard disk, which are non-volatile and can retain data without power. RAM is divided into two types: static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM (DRAM), which differ in their speed, power consumption, and design.Reference

RAM, definitely. I mean, who needs a hard disk when you can just store everything in your mind, am I right?
