Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

So it has to be very quick because memory needs so be much faster than storage it is rather more expensive than storage per KB. Computer do not normally process all the information they all so need to save same data for long term use, This data is saved on a secondary storage medium, rg. Hard disk. It is on-volatile. So it?s more reliable. Computer storage is typically cheaper, slower and more plentiful than computer
