What is a common example of permanent instruction memory in a computer?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ROM

The governing concept is the distinction between non-volatile memory and temporary working memory. ROM, or Read-Only Memory, stores essential instructions such as firmware or boot-related instructions and retains its contents when the computer is switched off. For this reason, it is commonly described in school-level questions as permanent memory. RAM is volatile working memory and normally loses its contents when power is removed. Cache is a very fast temporary memory used to reduce processor access time, while a register is a tiny, high-speed storage location inside the processor. Thus, ROM is the correct option, although modern ROM technologies may be rewritable in specific forms.
