DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Explanation
Cache memory sits between the processor and RAM and is actually faster than RAM, not slower.
Statement 1 is wrong because cache is high-speed memory that outpaces RAM.
Statement 2 is wrong because magnetic tape stores data magnetically, not optically.
CDs and DVDs are optical media, but grouping magnetic tape with them is incorrect.
Cache is volatile, so it does lose its contents when power is off.
Optical media are read using a laser beam.
