A
Random Access Memory (RAM)
B
Read Only Memory (ROM)
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Read-only memory, or ROM, is computer memory containing data that can only be read, not written to. ROM contains boot-up programming that is used each time a computer is turned on. It generally can’t be altered or reprogrammed. The data in ROM is nonvolatile and isn’t lost when the computer power is turned off.

Detailed explanation-2: -Read Only Memory (ROM) is a type of computer memory that is used to permanently store data that does not need to be modified. ROM is non-volatile memory, which means that the data stored in it is retained even when the power is turned off.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nonvolatile memory is the memory that can keep the information even when it is powered off. In other words, nonvolatile memory requires power while storing the data; however, once the data is stored, the nonvolatile memory technologies do not require power to maintain the data stored.

Detailed explanation-4: -Memory consists of four types of memory chips RAM, ROM, CMOS and flash. RAM stand for random access memory and ROM stand for read only memory. These are also called primary memory of a computer.

Detailed explanation-5: -Volatile memory is a type of memory that maintains its data only while the device is powered. If the power is interrupted for any reason, the data is lost.
