Primary storage, also known as main memory, is volatile and temporary. It is used to temporarily store data and instructions that are currently being used by the CPU. Archival data, which is data that is no longer in use, is not stored in primary storage. The other options (data to be processed, instructions for the CPU, and operating system programs) are all typically stored in primary storage.
