C Correct answer
Explanation

Files are stored on secondary storage devices like hard disks or SSDs, not in RAM. RAM is volatile memory used for temporary data while the computer is running - it loses all contents when power is turned off. Files must persist on non-volatile storage to be retained between sessions. Organizing files in folders (A, D) and generating them from applications (B) are true statements about file management.
