Which of the following is used as a primary storage device?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Magnetic drum
The magnetic drum was used as primary storage in early machines - a rotating cylinder with fixed heads, holding the program and data the processor worked on directly. Hard disks, floppies and the rest are secondary storage: the processor cannot execute from them, so their contents must be loaded into main memory first.
