Ci-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b

Di-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c

Correct answer: (B) i-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c

Explanation

A storage medium that keeps data over the Internet is cloud storage, held on remote servers.

The internal storage where current instructions are held is RAM, the working memory of the computer.

The solid-state storage used in digital cameras is flash memory, compact and non-volatile.

The optical medium that stores high-definition motion pictures is the Blu-ray Disc.

Confusing RAM with cloud storage misses that RAM is local and temporary while cloud is remote.

RAM loses its contents when power is cut, whereas flash memory and discs retain data.
