An Internal chip where data is stored temporarily whilst programs are running is called ____
A
Motherboard
B
Random Access Memory (RAM)
C
Read-Only Memory (ROM)
D
Video Card
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RAM (random access memory) is a computer’s short-term memory, where the data that the processor is currently using is stored. Your computer can access RAM memory much faster than data on a hard disk, SSD, or other long-term storage device, which is why RAM capacity is critical for system performance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cache memory is a chip-based computer component that makes retrieving data from the computer’s memory more efficient. It acts as a temporary storage area that the computer’s processor can retrieve data from easily.

Detailed explanation-3: -RAM (Random Access Memory) is the internal memory of the CPU for storing data, program, and program result. It is a read/write memory which stores data until the machine is working.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because of its volatility, RAM can’t store permanent data. RAM can be compared to a person’s short-term memory, and a hard disk drive to a person’s long-term memory. Short-term memory is focused on immediate work, but it can only keep a limited number of facts in view at any one time.
