Solution

The correct option is D All of the above

Dynamic RAM (DRAM),Static RAM (SRAM) and Video RAM (VRAM) is used to describe RAM.

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of memory that is typically used for data or program code that a computer processor needs to function. DRAM is a common type of random access memory (RAM) used in personal computers (PCs), workstations and servers. Random access allows the PC processor to access any part of the memory directly rather than having to proceed sequentially from a starting place.

Static Random Access Memory (Static RAM or SRAM) is a type of RAM that holds data in a static form, that is, as long as the memory has power. Unlike dynamic RAM, it does not need to be refreshed. SRAM stores a bit of data on four transistors using two cross-coupled inverters. The two stable states characterize 0 and 1. During read and write operations another two access transistors are used to manage the availability to a memory cell. To store one memory bit it requires six metal-oxide-semiconductorfield-effect transistors (MOFSET). MOFSET is one of the two types of SRAM chips.

VRAM (video RAM) is a reference to any type of random access memory (RAM) used to store image data for a computer display.All types of VRAM are special arrangements of dynamic RAM (DRAM). VRAM is a buffer between the computer processor and the display, and is often called the frame buffer. When images are to be sent to the display, they are first read by the processor as data from some form of main (non-video) RAM and then written to VRAM.
