Explanation
Correct Answer Explanation:
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is called 'random access' because any memory location can be accessed directly in the same amount of time, regardless of its position. RAM is volatile — it loses data when the computer is switched off.
Why the other options are incorrect:
- Option A: 'Read Access Memory' is not the correct term. RAM allows both reading AND writing of data, so calling it 'read-only' is incorrect.
- Option C: 'Ready Access Memory' is not a valid computing term. This is a made-up expansion.
- Option D: 'Run Access Memory' is not a valid term. RAM is not defined by 'running' but by its random accessibility.
