Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -15. Which computer memory chip allows simultaneous both read and write operations? Answer: (b), RAM is a volatile chip memory that performs both read and write operations. That’s why, it is also called read-write memory (called RWM).

Detailed explanation-2: -Expert-Verified Answer The Random Access Memory or RAM is the computer memory which allows simultaneous read and write operations in the Computer.

Detailed explanation-5: -RAM is read/write memory. The process of storing data in the memory is called write operation. The process of transferring the data stored in memory to processor or secondary storage is called read operation. RAM is a random access memory, so data can be read or written directly from any location in the memory.
