Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the correct answer because it is the component in a computer that temporarily holds data and instructions for the processor to interpret and execute. ROM (Read-Only Memory) contains firmware that is not intended for temporary storage of user data. Storage refers to long-term data storage devices like hard drives and SSDs, and the motherboard is the main circuit board that connects all components of a computer, not a specific type of memory.
