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

Statement I:You can read from and write to RAM, whereas you can read from ROM but cannot write to ROM.

Statement II:CD-RW is ReWritable and can be modified many times, whereas CD-R is Recordable once only.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Statement 1 is true because RAM can be both read and written, while ROM can be read but not written to normally.

Statement 2 is true because CD-RW can be rewritten many times while CD-R can be recorded only once.

RAM is volatile working memory that loses its contents when power is switched off.

ROM is non-volatile and usually holds firmware such as the boot instructions.

CD-R uses a dye layer burned permanently, so its data cannot be erased.

CD-RW uses a phase-change layer that can be reset and rewritten repeatedly.
