Solution

The correct option is B K

In the language of the computer profession, one thousand position of main storage is represented with the letter K.

The word main is used to distinguish it from external mass storage devices such as disk drives. Other terms used to mean main memory include RAM and primary storage. The computer can manipulate only data that is in main memory. ... Now, most PCs come with a minimum of 32 megabytes of main memory.

Auxillary memory access time is generally 1000 times that of the main memory, hence it is at the bottom of the hierarchy.The main memory occupies the central position because it is equipped to communicate directly with the CPU and with auxiliary memory devices through Input/output processor (I/O).
