The other options, woods, nature, and bird, do not fit the analogy as they do not undergo a similar growth process from a smaller form to a larger, mature form. Therefore, the correct answer is plant.

    Explanation
    A Wide Area Network (WAN) refers to a computer network that spans a large geographical area, connecting multiple smaller networks or devices together.

    Which Media can normally store more data?

    • ROM

    • CD-ROM

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard Disk
    Explanation
    A hard disk can normally store more data compared to other media such as RAM, ROM, and CD-ROM. RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory used for temporary storage while the computer is running. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile memory used to store permanent data, but its capacity is limited. CD-ROM (Compact Disc-Read Only Memory) can store a significant amount of data, but it is still less compared to a hard disk. A hard disk is a non-volatile storage device with a much larger capacity, making it capable of storing a vast amount of data.

They have large databases of websites and web pages that they index and make searchable for users. Users can enter keywords or phrases into the search bar and the search engine will provide a list of relevant results.
