    What can read and write data in the computer?Options: Hard driveModemRAMVideo card(Choose the right answer from the options and type it exactly the same.)

    Explanation
    RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can both read and write data. It is a volatile memory, meaning that its contents are lost when the computer is powered off. RAM is responsible for temporarily storing data that the computer needs to access quickly, such as program instructions and data being actively used by the operating system and applications. It allows for quick and efficient data retrieval and manipulation, making it essential for the smooth functioning of a computer system.

    What is the memory of the computer?Options: BIOSUSBPortROM(Choose the right answer from the options and type it exactly the same.)

    Explanation
    ROM stands for Read-Only Memory. It is a type of computer memory that stores data permanently and cannot be modified or erased. The data stored in ROM remains intact even when the computer is turned off. It contains the firmware or software instructions that are essential for the computer to start up and perform basic functions. Therefore, ROM plays a critical role in the operation of a computer system by providing the necessary instructions for the hardware and software components to function properly.
