Answer 2

RAM is considered as a form of secondary storage.

Answer: Option (c)

Explanation:

Secondary memory is often represented as secondary storage. It is one of the cheapest as well as slowest forms of memory. This memory could not be processed directly by the CPU. Some of the secondary type memory devices are floppy disks, magnetic disks, CDROM, CD, and some other magnetic tapes, etc.
