In which memory is data lost by power off?
Verified Answer
A. (a) Disc
B. (b) RAM
C. (c) Floppy
D. (d) CD
E. (e) None of these
Explanation:
Option (b) RAM (Random Access Memory) is the correct answer. RAM is a type of volatile memory, meaning that it requires continuous power to maintain the stored information. When the power is turned off, all data stored in RAM is lost. Options (a) Disc (referring to hard disks or SSDs), (c) Floppy disks, and (d) CD (Compact Discs) are all types of non-volatile storage, which retain their data even when power is removed. Therefore, (e) None of these is incorrect.
