Solution

The correct option is A ROM

The ROM memory is programmed at the time it is manufactured

ROM stands for Read Only Memory. The memory from which we can only read but cannot write on it. This type of memory is non-volatile. The information is stored permanently in such memories during manufacture. A ROM stores such instructions that are required to start a computer.

Once data has been written onto a ROM chip, it cannot be removed and can only be read. Unlike main memory (RAM), ROM retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. ROM is referred to as being nonvolatile, whereas RAM is volatile. ... A variation of a ROM is a PROM (programmable read-only memory).

Another example of ROM is EEPROM, which is a programmable ROM used for the computer BIOS, as shown in the picture below. Note: Unlike Random Access Memory (RAM), ROM is non-volatile, which means it keeps its contents regardless of whether or not it has power.
