Which of the following is used to hold running program instructions?a.Virtual Storageb.Primary Storagec.Minor Devicesd.Internal StorageClear my choice

The correct answer is b. Primary Storage.

Here's why:

a. Virtual Storage: This is a technique that allows the execution of applications which may not be entirely in memory. It is not used to hold running program instructions.

b. Primary Storage: Also known as main memory, this is the area in a computer in which data is stored for quick access by the computer's processor. It includes RAM and cache memory where running program instructions are held.

c. Minor Devices: This term is not standard in computer architecture. Devices usually refer to peripheral devices like a mouse, keyboard, etc. They do not hold running program instructions.

d. Internal Storage: This usually refers to the long-term storage in a computer, like a hard drive or an SSD. While it does hold program instructions, it is not where instructions are held while a program is running.
