Which of the following terms is the most closely related to main memory?

A. Non-volatile
B. Permanent
C. Control Unit
D. Temporary

Check Answer

The correct answer is D) Temporary.

Main memory is also known as primary memory or RAM (Random Access Memory), and it is a type of temporary storage used by a computer to store data and instructions that are currently in use by the CPU. It is called temporary because its contents are lost when the computer is turned off or loses power.
The other options listed are not directly related to main memory. Non-volatile memory refers to types of storage that retain their contents even when power is turned off (e.g. flash memory, hard disk drives). Permanent memory refers to types of storage that cannot be changed or erased once they have been written (e.g. ROM, CD-ROM). The control unit is a component of the CPU that manages the execution of instructions, but it is not directly related to main memory.
