Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: (a) True Explanation: Non-volatile, long-term storage is secondary storage. All applications and data would be lost the instant the computer is turned off.
Detailed explanation-2: -ROM is non-volatile memory, which means the information is permanently stored on the chip. The memory does not depend on an electric current to save data, instead, data is written to individual cells using binary code.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secondary memory is non-volatile; data is stored even during a power failure. Data is stored inside costly semiconductor chips. Data is stored on external hardware devices like hard drives, floppy disks, etc. They do not have such a classification.
