Correct answer: C
These are the four main memory access methods used in computer systems: Sequential Access – Memory is accessed in a linear sequence.
Direct Access – Data is accessed by moving directly to a general location and then sequentially to the exact spot.
Random Access – Any memory location can be accessed directly (e.g., RAM).
Associative Access – A special form of random access where data is accessed based on content rather than address.
