Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RAM (random access memory) is a computer’s short-term memory, where the data that the processor is currently using is stored. Your computer can access RAM memory much faster than data on a hard disk, SSD, or other long-term storage device, which is why RAM capacity is critical for system performance.

Detailed explanation-2: -A data bus can transfer data to and from the memory of a computer, or into or out of the central processing unit (CPU) that acts as the device’s “engine."Hence, Option 3 is correct.

Detailed explanation-3: -A CPU works by processing and decoding instructions received from RAM. After an operation is performed, the CPU quickly fetches the next set of instructions. A processor will repeat this cycle to perform complex functions like running a game, program, or even your operating system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Processing in memory, or PIM (sometimes called processor in memory), refers to the integration of a processor with Random Access Memory (RAM) on a single chip. The result is sometimes known as a PIM chip. PIM allows computations and processing to be performed within the memory of a computer, server or similar device.
