Solution

The correct option is D Receives input data

Computer memory Receives input data.

A computer is a machine that can be programmed to accept data (input), process it into useful information (output), and store it away (in a secondary storage device) for safekeeping or later reuse. ... Input devices accept data in a form that the computer can use; they then send the data to the processing unit.

In a semiconductor memory chip, each bit of binary data is stored in a tiny circuit called a memory cell consisting of one to several transistors. The memory cells are laid out in rectangular arrays on the surface of the chip. ... Consequently, the amount of data stored in each chip is N2M bits.

Data is stored as lots of binary numbers, by magnetism, electronics or optics. ... The computer's BIOS contains simple instructions, stored as data in electronic memory, to move data in and out of different storage locations and around the computer for processing.
