B Correct answer
Explanation

Internal memory (RAM) is the primary memory that directly communicates with the CPU. It holds the programs and data currently being executed because the CPU can only directly access data in internal memory. Mass memory is secondary storage, non-volatile memory retains data without power, and PROM is a type of read-only memory.
