Detailed explanation-1: -RAM (Random access memory) is lost when the computer is turned off. RAM only maintains the data in it as long as it has electricity. Hence this option is correct.
Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is volatile memory used to hold instructions and data of currently running programs. It loses integrity after loss of power. RAM memory modules are installed into slots on the computer motherboard. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is nonvolatile: data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power.
Detailed explanation-3: -RAM is volatile memory, which stores data in a single transistor and capacitor. This means it needs a constantly recycled charge to hold its data. If the power is turned off, it cannot refresh the data and it is lost. This is known as DYNAMIC memory.
