Which memory storage is widely used in PCs and Embedded Systems?
A
EEPROM
B
Flash memory
C
SRAM
D
DRAM
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which memory storage is widely used in PCs and Embedded Systems? Explanation: DRAM is used in PCs and Embedded systems because of its low cost. SRAM, flash memory and EEPROM are more costly than DRAM. 2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flash memory is a long-life and non-volatile storage chip that is widely used in embedded systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -SRAM is commonly used for a computer’s cache memory, such as a processor’s L2 or L3 cache. It is not used for a computer’s main memory because of its cost and size. Most computers use DRAM instead because it supports greater densities at a lower cost per megabyte (MB).

Detailed explanation-4: -Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory that is typically used for the data or program code needed by a computer processor to function. DRAM is a common type of random access memory (RAM) that is used in personal computers (PCs), workstations and servers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The RAM family includes two important memory devices: static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM (DRAM). The primary difference between them is the lifetime of the data they store. SRAM retains its contents as long as electrical power is applied to the chip.
