The keyboard is used for typing and entering commands, while the mouse is used for pointing, clicking, and navigating on the screen. "Keybord" is not a correct spelling, so it is not included in the answer.

    This is the short term memory of the computer and it is lost when it is turned off.

    • A.

      RAM

    • B.

      Motherboard

    • C.

      Hard Drive

    • D.

      CPU

    Correct Answer
    A. RAM
    Explanation
    RAM, or Random Access Memory, is the correct answer because it is a type of computer memory that is used to store data that is being actively used by the computer. It is considered the short term memory of the computer because it provides temporary storage for data that the CPU needs to access quickly. However, RAM is a volatile memory, meaning that it requires power to maintain its stored data. Therefore, when the computer is turned off, the data stored in RAM is lost.
