Given below are two statements in respect of computers. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:A DVD-ROM is an optical storage medium and it can be written to many times.

Statement II:Software is loaded into secondary storage from RAM and is then executed by the CPU.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Explanation

Both statements are false because a DVD-ROM cannot be rewritten many times and software runs from RAM, not from secondary storage.

Statement 1 is false because a DVD-ROM is read only, so its content is fixed at manufacture and cannot be written repeatedly.

A rewritable optical disc would be a DVD-RW or DVD-RAM, not a DVD-ROM.

Statement 2 is false because software is loaded from secondary storage into RAM and then executed by the CPU.

The stated direction, from RAM into secondary storage, reverses the real loading path.

RAM holds the running program temporarily because the CPU can fetch from it far faster than from a disk.
