What does RAM stand for?

Random Address Memory
Random Access Machine
Random Access Memory
Random Applications Memory

The correct answer is: Random Access Memory

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which is a type of computer memory that allows data to be accessed randomly, rather than in a specific order. This makes it faster and more efficient for the computer to retrieve information from RAM as needed. Option A, Random Address Memory, is incorrect because address does not accurately describe the function of RAM. Option B, Random Access Machine, is incorrect because RAM is not a machine, but rather a component of a computer system. Option D, Random Applications Memory, is incorrect because RAM is not specific to applications, but can store any type of data being used by the computer.
