Locations in the main memory of a computer are called

A. Alphabets
B. Words
C. Data
D. Characters

Check Answer

The correct answer is B) words.

Locations in the main memory of a computer are called “words”.
A word is a fixed-size unit of data that a computer can process as a single unit. The size of a word varies depending on the architecture of the computer, but it is typically 2, 4, or 8 bytes (16, 32, or 64 bits). Each word in the main memory is identified by a unique address that the computer uses to read from or write to that location.
Option A (Alphabets) and Option D (Characters) are incorrect because these terms typically refer to individual letters or symbols used in human languages, and are not used to refer to locations in computer memory.
Option C (Data) is incorrect because while data is stored in the memory, it is not used to refer to the memory locations themselves.
