What does RAM do?

  1. Stores data on a computer

  2. Allows a computer to communicate with another computer

  3. Enables a user to access the internet

  4. Temporary storage to enable the computer to run programs

The correct answer is: Temporary storage to enable the computer to run programs

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is responsible for temporarily storing data that is currently being used by the computer's programs and processes. This allows the computer to access and switch between information quickly and efficiently while a program is running. Option A is incorrect because the permanent storage of data is the role of a hard drive or solid-state drive. Option B is incorrect because communication between computers is facilitated by network interface cards. Option C is incorrect because internet access is dependent on a stable internet connection, not RAM.
