Most semiconductor memory must receive a continuous supply of electricity because most semiconductor memory is volatile. This means:
A) It provides virtually unlimited online storage
B) Semiconductor memory is permanent
C) It provides fault-tolerant storage capacity
D) If the power to the memory is interrupted the contents of the memory will be lost

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most semiconductor memory is volatile which means that it requires a continuous supply of electricity to maintain its contents. If the power supply is interrupted, the contents of the memory will be lost. This is why volatile memory is not suitable for long-term data storage or as a backup solution.
