Which one of the following is not a characteristic of flash memory ?
General KnowledgeStatic General Awareness
- AIt is an ultraviolet erasable programmable ROM.
- BIt is an electrically erasable programmable ROM.
- CIt retains data without power.
- DIt is a non-volatile memory.
Explanation
The question asks what is not a characteristic of flash memory. Flash memory is electrically erasable (EEPROM-type), retains data without power, and is non-volatile, so options B, C, and D describe it correctly. Ultraviolet-erasable programmable ROM describes EPROM, a different technology that needs UV light through a quartz window for erasure. Hence option A is not a characteristic of flash memory.
