Which of the following are advantage of CD-ROM as a storage media?
Verified Answer
A. CD-ROM is an inexpensive way to store large amount of data and information
B. CD-ROM disks retrieve data and information more quickly than magnetic disks do
C. CD-ROMs make less errors than magnetic media
D. All of these
E. None of these
Explanation:
CD-ROMs (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) were indeed an inexpensive medium for storing and distributing large amounts of data. Option (b) is incorrect because magnetic disks (like hard drives) generally retrieve data faster than CD-ROMs. Option (c) is also incorrect as CD-ROMs are not inherently less error-prone than well-maintained magnetic media. Thus, (a) is the primary advantage listed.
