Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How is data stored in solid state storage?
A
In the CPU
B
In ‘marks’ arranged in patterns
C
In different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetisable material to store data (tape/hard disk).
D
Using a large electric current to force electrons through a barrier and trapping them in position.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solid-state storage (SSS) is a type of computer storage media that stores data electronically and has no moving parts. Solid state storage is made from silicon microchips. Because there are no moving parts, SSDs require less power and produce far less heat than spinning hard disk drives or magnetic tape.

Detailed explanation-2: -A solid state drive is non-volatile memory (NVM) computer hardware that stores data without moving parts. Whereas hard disk drives (HDD) use a spinning magnetic disk and a mechanical write head to manipulate data, SSDs use charge in semiconductors.

Detailed explanation-3: -A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory, and functioning as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage.
