Verified Answer

B. lose its contents if currents it turned off
C. be used for data storage only
D. be used to both read and write data
E. None of these

A 'volatile' memory chip loses its contents when power is removed (currents turned off). Explosion is not related to volatility. Volatile memory stores both programs and data, and read/write capability isn't its definition. Thus, losing contents without power is the definition.
