A nonvolatile type of memory that can be programmed and erased in sectors, rather than one byte at a time is.
A
Flash Memory
B
MPROM
C
EPROM
D
EEPROM
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flash Memory: A special type of EEPROM that can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a time.

Detailed explanation-2: -EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. It is a non-volatile memory in which the information stored Is retained even after the power goes off. A special type of PROM in which the information stored in it can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge at one byte at a time.

Detailed explanation-3: -EEPROM is a type of non-volatile ROM that enables individual bytes of data to be erased and reprogrammed. That is why EEPROM chips are known as byte erasable chips. EEPROM is usually used to store small amounts of data in computing and other electronic devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flash memory is an electronic non-volatile computer memory storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. The two main types of flash memory, NOR flash and NAND flash, are named for the NOR and NAND logic gates. Both use the same cell design, consisting of floating gate MOSFETs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flash memory is a long-life and non-volatile storage chip that is widely used in embedded systems. It can keep stored data and information even when the power is off. It can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. Flash memory was developed from EEPROM (electronically erasable programmable read-only memory).
