Worms can consume system resources, slow down network performance, and even compromise data security. Therefore, it is important to have proper security measures in place to protect against worm infections.

    Sleep mode saves any open documents and programs to ________. - ProProfs

    Sleep mode saves any open documents and programs to ________.

    • Read Only Memory (ROM)

    • Registers

    • Random Access Memory (RAM)

    Correct Answer
    A. Random Access Memory (RAM)

    Sleep mode is a power-saving mode in which the computer temporarily shuts down most of its operations to conserve energy. When the computer enters sleep mode, it saves any open documents and programs to Random Access Memory (RAM).

Since RAM is volatile memory, meaning it requires power to retain data, saving the open documents and programs to RAM ensures that they can be quickly accessed and restored when the computer wakes up from sleep mode.
