A Correct answer
Explanation

RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory that requires constant power to maintain data. When you perform a cold boot (completely shutting down and restarting), power is cut and all data in RAM is lost. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile and retains its contents.
