Solution

The correct option is B PROM

PROM is a computer memory that can be programmed once, but not reprogrammed.

To write data onto a PROM chip, you need a special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner. ... An EPROM (erasable programmable read-only memory) is a special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to ultraviolet light. Once it is erased, it can be reprogrammed.

RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory) are types of computer memory that provide users with access to information stored on a computer. ... Data in RAM is not permanently written. When you power off your computer the data stored in RAM is deleted. ROM is a type of non- volatile memory.
