ASlower and less expensive
BFaster and more expensive ✓ Correct
CFaster and less expensive
DSlower and more expensive
Correct answer: (B) Faster and more expensive
Explanation

Primary storage is faster and more expensive per unit than secondary storage.

Slower and less expensive describes secondary storage, the opposite case.

Faster and less expensive is impossible, since higher speed raises cost.

Slower and more expensive wrongly pairs low speed with high price.

Primary memory uses fast semiconductor cells directly reachable by the processor.

Secondary storage trades speed for large, cheap and permanent capacity.
