Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description fits the definition of solid state devices, as they are nonvolatile (retain memory without power), removable (can be disconnected from the computer), and use integrated circuits to store and retrieve data. Optical devices (A) use laser technology to read and write data onto a reflective surface, while magnetic devices (C) use a spinning disk and magnetic heads to read and write data onto a magnetic surface. Blu-ray (D) is a type of optical disc with a high-density storage capacity. None of these options fit the description as well as solid-state devices.
