Please scroll down to see the correct answer and solution guide.
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
Cache Memory:
- It is an extremely fast memory type that acts as a buffer between RAM and the CPU.
- It holds frequently requested data and instructions so that they are immediately available to the CPU when needed.
- It is a memory unit placed between the CPU and main memory M and is used to store instructions, data, or both.
- It is used to reduce the average time to access data from the Main memory.
