Question 16 • Skelton - GSN - Computer Science Principles Semester A

Where is information that is used by the CPU stored when the program is processed?

Answer
A
RAM
B
Metadata
C
the motherboard
D
a microprocessor

Explanation

When a program is running, the CPU needs quick access to its instructions and data. That information is loaded into RAM, which temporarily stores the program’s working information while it is being processed. The motherboard connects computer components, and the microprocessor is the CPU itself, not the storage location.
