What is EEPROM?

  1. Electronically Encoded Programmable Read-Only Memory

  2. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory

  3. Encrypted Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory

  4. Extended Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory

The correct answer is: Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory

EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. This means it is a type of memory that can be written to and read from repeatedly, but also has the added capability of being erased and reprogrammed electrically. Option A is incorrect because EEPROM does not necessarily involve encoding; it is programmable through electrical signals. Option C is incorrect because EEPROM is not specifically encrypted. Option D is incorrect because there is no such thing as "Extended Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory."
