BLogical operations
CFetch operations
DEither arithmetic or logical operations ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Either arithmetic or logical operations — Secondary storage cannot perform arithmetic or logical operations, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Secondary storage cannot perform arithmetic or logical operations, so that is the answer.
★Secondary storage only keeps data safely for later use.
★It has no unit to add, compare or otherwise process data.
★Arithmetic and logical operations are done by the CPU instead.
★So secondary storage can do neither of these.
★So the answer is either arithmetic or logical operations.
