A/C? BIOS and CPU settings are firmware/hardware-level and don’t reset just by powering off. RAM is the only one that loses its data instantly when power’s gone, so it’s the right call here.

Maybe D because RAM is volatile memory and depends on continuous power, so when the workstation is off, it definitely clears out, unlike BIOS or CPU settings.

It’s D because RAM is volatile and clears completely when power’s lost.

D imo, RAM is volatile memory, so when the workstation powers down, it loses all its contents instantly. The BIOS settings are stored in non-volatile memory and won’t reset just from turning the machine off. CPU doesn’t reset either unless it’s rebooted. NIC might lose temporary data but not really “reset” in this sense. So D fits best for what gets reset when power is cut.

D RAM loses all data when power is cut, so it resets when the workstation is turned off. The CPU and BIOS settings don’t reset just from shutting down.

Yep, RAM clears all stored data once power’s off, so definitely D.

Maybe D, since RAM is volatile and relies on power to hold data, it definitely resets when the workstation turns off. The CPU and BIOS don’t lose their data like that.

D imo, since RAM is volatile memory, it loses its data as soon as power is cut, unlike BIOS or CPU states which are non-volatile or just firmware.

Option D, RAM is volatile and clears on power off, so it resets for sure.

D RAM loses data without power, so definitely resets when off.

It’s D. RAM gets wiped when you turn off the workstation.
