Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -non-volatile memory include read-only memory (see ROM), flash memory, most types of magnetic computer storage devices (e.g. hard disks, floppy discs and magnetic tape), optical discs, and early computer storage methods such as paper tape and punched cards.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are non-volatile storage examples? Three common examples of NVS devices that persistently store data are tape drives, HDDs and SSDs. The term non-volatile storage also applies to the semiconductor chips that store data or controller program code within devices such as SSDs, HDDs, tape drives and memory modules.

Detailed explanation-3: -From the given options, only hard drive is a non-volatile memory and non-sequential access memory device.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most common example of non-volatile memory is ROM (Read Only Memory).

Detailed explanation-5: -There are mainly five types of nonvolatile memory technology: Flash memory, ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM), magnetic random-access memory (MRAM), phase-change memory (PCM), and RRAM.
