Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The correct option is A. Random access storage devices allow the system to read or write data directly at any storage location without searching through a sequence. Because data can be accessed instantly and independently of its location, these devices are also known as Direct Access Storage Devices (DASD) (e.g., HDDs, SSDs, RAM).
