What term describes a type of computer memory that can retrieve stored information after power is cycled?

• A. Volatile Memory
• B. Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM)
• C. Random-Access Memory
• D. Read-Only Memory

Answer: (B)

The key idea is persistence without power. Non-volatile memory is memory that retains stored data even when the device is powered off, so you can retrieve that information after a power cycle. This contrasts with volatile memory, which loses its contents when power is removed. Read-only memory is a type of non-volatile memory, but the broader term that best describes the ability to keep and later retrieve data after power loss is non-volatile memory (NVRAM).
