Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A single integrated circuit (IC) housing the decoder and OR gates make up ROM. A few Read-Only Memory examples are: MROM (masked read-only memory), PROM (programmable read only memory), EPROM (erasable programmable read only memory), EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read only memory), and Flash Memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -EPROMs are used not only in computers, but in many of today’s modern electronics. Examples of EPROMs you can hold in your hand include compact flash, smart memory, memory sticks etc. Computer BIOS is frequently stored in EPROMs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some computer chips and compact discs are examples of read-only memory. For example, most computers contain a boot program in a ROM chip, which contains instructions on how to load the operating system into random access memory (RAM).

Detailed explanation-4: -Read-only memory, or ROM, is a type of computer storage containing non-volatile, permanent data that, normally, can only be read, not written to. ROM contains the programming that allows a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on.
