Where does your PC store your programs when the power is off?

DRAM
Cache
ROM
Hard Disk Drive E. None of these

The correct answer is D. Hard Disk Drive.

  • DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory) is a type of volatile memory that is used to store data and programs that are currently being used by the computer. When the power is turned off, the data stored in DRAM is lost.
  • Cache is a type of high-speed memory that is used to store data that is frequently accessed by the computer. Cache is not used to store programs.
  • ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a type of non-volatile memory that is used to store data and programs that are permanently stored on the computer. ROM is not used to store data that is frequently accessed by the computer.
  • Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a type of non-volatile storage device that is used to store data and programs permanently on the computer. HDD is the most common type of storage device used in computers.

When the power is turned off, the data stored in DRAM is lost. However, the data stored on the HDD is not lost. This is because the HDD is a non-volatile storage device.
