Example of volatile memory is____
A
Read Only Memory
B
Random Access Memory
C
Random Only Memory
D
Read Access Memory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Random Access Memory is volatile. That means data is retained in RAM as long as the computer is on, but it is lost when the computer is turned off. When the computer is rebooted, the OS and other files are reloaded into RAM, usually from an HDD or SSD.

Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is volatile memory, which means that the information temporarily stored in the module is erased when you restart or shut down your computer. Because the information is stored electrically on transistors, when there is no electric current, the data disappears.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some very typical examples of volatile memory are Cache memory and Random Access Memory (RAM). Volatile memory is a temporary memory because it can only hold the information until the device or the computer runs on power. It loses the stored memory as soon as someone interrupts the power supply.

Detailed explanation-4: -Random-access devices include hard drives, CD (compact disc) writers, and DVD (digital versatile disc) RAM (random-access memory) devices. The hard drive typically has a storage capacity of 20 gigabytes (GB) and a data transfer rate of over 10 megabytes (MB) per second.

Detailed explanation-5: -RAM is an example of Volatile Memory. ROM is an example of Non-Volatile Memory. Data Transfer is easy in Volatile Memory. Data Transfer is difficult in Non-Volatile Memory.
