Why is data in random access memory lost when the computer is turned off?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is volatile memory

The governing concept is volatility. RAM uses electronic memory cells that need a continuous electrical supply to represent and preserve their current states while programs are running. When the computer is switched off, that supply ends, the states are lost, and the temporary data disappears. Hence, option C is correct. RAM is not optical storage, not an input device, and not mechanical memory. Non-volatile devices such as ROM, SSDs, and hard drives retain data without continuous power.
