D. Memory module
E. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: We will first define the memory of a computer and then we well will define its parts and what its parts consist of. After that we will get the right option out of all the five options.

Complete answer:
One of the major advantages of computers is its storage capacity where it can store a huge amount of information. There are different storage areas where it keeps data or information permanently or temporarily while working. This storage area is known as the Memory of the computer.
Memory of a computer is any physical device capable of storing information temporarily, like RAM (random access memory), or permanently, like ROM (read-only memory). Memory devices utilize integrated circuits and are used by operating systems, software and hardware.
Computer memory is of two types:
1. Primary Memory
2. Secondary Memory
Now, primary memory is further divided into two types, i.e., RAM and ROM.
And, secondary memory is further divided into different types, like, Hard Disc, Compact Disc, DVD, Pen Drive, Flash Drive, etc.
From the above discussion, we know that primary memory consists of both RAM and ROM.

Hence, option C is the right answer.

Note:
Primary memory is located close to the CPU on the computer motherboard, enabling the CPU to read data from primary memory very quickly. It includes ROM and RAM. Primary memory is also known as primary storage or main memory.
