AStatic RAM

BDynamic RAM

CEEPROM ✓ Correct

DCD-ROM

Correct answer: (C) EEPROM

Explanation

Flash memory is a form of EEPROM that is electrically erased and rewritten in blocks.

Static RAM is volatile working memory, not flash memory.

Dynamic RAM is volatile and needs refreshing, unlike non volatile flash.

CD-ROM is an optical read only disc, not flash memory.

Flash keeps its data without power, so it is non volatile.

It is used in USB drives, memory cards and solid state drives.
