Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary storage is often referred to as permanent storage because it is non-volatile and can retain data even when the computer is turned off. Primary storage (choice B) and main memory (choice C) refer to the same thing, which is the computer's RAM. Volatile memory (choice D) is a type of memory that requires constant power to maintain data, and therefore is not a suitable term for secondary storage.
