Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Volatile memory is a type of storage that loses its data when power is disconnected from the device. This includes RAM (Random Access Memory) and cache memory. Flash memory (A) and read-only memory (B) are non-volatile, meaning they can retain their data even without power. Holographic memory (C) and racetrack memory (E) are emerging technologies that have not yet been widely adopted.
