Stored
Data is entered by the user through input devices like keyboard, mouse. After receiving instruction from main memory, control unit sent signal to various parts of the system to get prepared for the operation.
After processing, the data is sent back to main memory for temporary storage before the next command is executed. After the received command from the control unit, data is sent to the secondary memory. In this way a computer uses series of stored instruction to process data.
If user wants to process or use any data then data must be transferred from secondary memory to main memory, after receiving instruction from control unit.
Therefore, the appropriate word to fill in the blank is stored.
