Correct answer: C
Assertion A is correct because Random Access Memory (RAM) is indeed volatile memory, meaning it loses data when power is turned off. Reason R is incorrect because volatile memory requires a continuous power supply to retain data. Therefore, the correct option states that Assertion A is true but Reason R is false.
