Which memory is a temporary type?
A
RAM
B
ROM
C
hard drive
D
flash drive
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RAM stands for random access memory, and it’s one of the most fundamental elements of computing. RAM is a temporary memory bank where your computer stores data it needs to retrieve quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cache memory. This temporary storage area, known as a cache, is more readily available to the processor than the computer’s main memory source.

Detailed explanation-3: -RAM is volatile memory, which means that the information temporarily stored in the module is erased when you restart or shut down your computer. Because the information is stored electrically on transistors, when there is no electric current, the data disappears.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are mainly two types of semiconductor memory: random-access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM). RAM is a temporary data storage domain, whereas ROM serves as a semi-permanent storage domain. If RAM is likened to notebooks or memo pads, then ROM is comparable to dictionaries and textbooks.

Detailed explanation-5: -RAM (Random Access Memory) is the hardware in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device’s processor. RAM is the main memory in a computer.
