    Where is data stored in a computer?

    • Hard Drive

    • RAM

    • ROM

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard Drive
    Explanation
    Data is stored in a computer's hard drive. The hard drive is a non-volatile storage device that retains data even when the computer is powered off. It provides long-term storage for files, programs, and the operating system. Unlike RAM (Random Access Memory) which is volatile and temporary, the hard drive allows for the permanent storage of data, making it an essential component of a computer system. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a type of memory that stores permanent instructions and data that cannot be modified, but it is not typically used for general data storage.
