Which of the following is not a characteristic of Random Access Memory (RAM)?Question 1Answera.Volatile b.Temporary storage c.Non-volatile d.Faster access time

The characteristic that does not belong to Random Access Memory (RAM) is c. Non-volatile.

Here's why:

a. Volatile: This is a characteristic of RAM. Volatility means that data is lost when power is cut off. This is true for RAM because it only holds data as long as your computer is on. Once you turn off your computer, the data stored in RAM is lost.

b. Temporary storage: This is also a characteristic of RAM. RAM is used to temporarily store data that is being used or processed by the CPU.

c. Non-volatile: This is not a characteristic of RAM. Non-volatile memory keeps data even when the computer is turned off. Examples of non-volatile memory include hard drives, flash memory (like USB sticks), and read-only memory (ROM).

d. Faster access time: This is a characteristic of RAM. RAM has a faster access time compared to other types of storage like hard drives. This is why data that needs to be accessed quickly is stored in RAM.
