- D2 and 4
Explanation
Statements 1 and 3 are correct: SSDs have no spinning parts (spinning speed zero) and an SSD can host the swap/page file as virtual memory when RAM is insufficient. Statement 2 is wrong because SSDs consume less energy than HDDs, and statement 4 is wrong because storage cannot replace the processor. Hence 1 and 3 only.
