Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given description perfectly fits the characteristics of Random Access Memory (RAM), which is a primary storage device implemented as microchips, can read and write with equal speed, and can randomly access bytes, words, or larger data units. PROM and ROM are non-volatile memories that can only be read, not written to, and are not capable of random access. Semiconductor is a broad term used to refer to materials that conduct electricity and are used to make electronic components, including microchips.
