What does RAM represent in terms of storage?

Primary Storage
Secondary Storage
Tertiary Storage
Off-line Storage

The correct answer is: Primary Storage

RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which is a type of primary storage in a computer that is used for temporarily storing data and program instructions while they are being accessed by the computer's processor. Primary storage is fast, and is used to store data that the computer is currently working on, while secondary storage is slower and is used for long-term storage of data. Tertiary storage and off-line storage are not commonly used terms for storage in a computer and do not accurately describe what RAM represents. Therefore, these options are incorrect.
