A storage area used to store data to compensate for the difference in speed at which the different units can handle data is

  • A.Memory
  • B.Buffer
  • C.Accumulator
  • D.Address

Answer: B

Correct answer: Buffer

A buffer is a holding area between two units that work at different speeds - the processor and a printer, say. The fast device deposits data and carries on, and the slow one takes it at its own pace, so neither has to wait for the other. An accumulator is a register in the ALU, and an address identifies a memory location.
