A Correct answer
Explanation

RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory used for temporary storage while you're actively working on files. When you open or edit a document, it's loaded into RAM for fast access. ROM is read-only permanent memory, CPU processes data, flash memory is for storage, and CD-ROM is optical media. Only RAM provides the fast, temporary workspace needed for active document editing.
