Correct answer: D
Statement B is correct because CPUs require cooling fans to prevent overheating. Statement E is true as RAM costs significantly more per gigabyte than hard drive storage media. Statements A, C, and D are false because HDDs have moving parts, RAM is faster than storage access, and data persists on drives after power loss. The correct combination of statements is B and E.
