Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is cache memory. Cache memory is a memory that temporarily stores frequently used instructions and data for quicker processing by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike the other types of media, manufacturers use Random Access Memory (RAM) to store programs and additional information temporarily. With RAM, that temporary storage means all stored data disappears when the device loses power.
