Multiple choice

Non volatility is an important advantage of

  1. CD's

  2. Magnetic tapes and disks

  3. Magnetic bubbles

  4. Both (2) and (3)

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Non-volatility means data retention without power. Magnetic tapes and disks store data as magnetic polarization that persists without electricity. Magnetic bubbles were an experimental non-volatile technology using magnetic domains in garnet material. CDs (option A) are also non-volatile but the question asks for an advantage, and the combination in option D is more comprehensive as magnetic storage was more established when this technology was current.
