Detailed explanation-1: -RAM. Unlike a computer’s RAM, the data in ROM is not lost when the computer power is turned off.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volatile memory, in contrast to non-volatile memory, is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information; it retains its contents while powered on but when the power is interrupted, the stored data is quickly lost. Volatile memory has several uses including as primary storage.
