Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Ascending order of access time means increasing numeric access time: smallest access time first and largest access time last.
The usual hierarchy by access time is:
Registers < Main memory (RAM) < Magnetic Disk < Optical Disk < Magnetic Tape.
Mapping this to the given labels:
(A) Registers → (D) Main memory → (B) Magnetic Disk → (E) Optical Disk → (C) Magnetic Tapes.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: (A), (D), (B), (E), (C).
