A
Correct Answer
Primary storage (like RAM) is directly accessible by the CPU and is typically volatile; secondary storage (like hard drives or SSDs) is non-volatile and used for long-term data retention
Explanation
Primary storage (RAM) is fast but loses data on power-off and is used for active programs; secondary storage (HDD/SSD) is slower but retains data persistently, used for files and installed programs.
