Match List I (Storage device) with List II (Description) and choose the correct answer from the options given below.

List I

i.Solid State Drive (SSD)

ii.ROM

iii.DVD-RAM

iv.RAM

List II

a.Optical media that uses concentric tracks to allow simultaneous read-write operations

b.Volatile in nature, storing programs and data in current use

c.Has no moving parts and is therefore a very robust and reliable technology

d.Non-volatile in nature, storing firmware

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

Bi-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b ✓ Correct

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

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

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

Explanation

SSD matches no moving parts, ROM matches non-volatile firmware, DVD-RAM matches optical tracks, and RAM matches volatile working memory.

An SSD has no moving parts, making it a robust and reliable technology.

ROM is non-volatile and stores firmware that survives power off.

DVD-RAM is optical media using concentric tracks for read-write operations.

RAM is volatile, holding the programs and data currently in use.

An SSD is far faster than an optical disc for reading and writing.
