Cache Memory
B
ROM (Read Only Memory)
C
RIM (Read Initial Memory)
D
RAM (Random Access Memory)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ROM is a type of memory circuitry that holds the computer’s startup routine. The ROM BIOS tells the computer how to access the hard disk, find the operating system, and load it into RAM.

Detailed explanation-2: -ROM (read-only memory) is a non-volatile memory type. This means it receives data and permanently writes it on a chip, and it lasts even after you turn off your computer. The data is coded to not be overwritten, so it’s used for things like your printer software or your startup programs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The CPU starts and fetches instructions into RAM from the BIOS, which is stored in the ROM. The BIOS starts the monitor and keyboard, and does some basic checks to make sure the computer is working properly. For example, it will look for the RAM. The BIOS then starts the boot sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -Read-only memory, or ROM, is a type of computer storage containing non-volatile, permanent data that, normally, can only be read, not written to. ROM contains the programming that allows a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on.

Detailed explanation-5: -Computer memory is of two basic types – Primary memory(RAM and ROM) and Secondary memory (hard drive, CD, etc). Random Access Memory (RAM) is primary-volatile memory and Read-Only Memory (ROM) is primary-non-volatile memory.
