Which statement accurately describes secondary storage?

Show Answers

It does not need continuous power to retain dataIt operates without magnetic technologyIt is made up of four primary device categoriesIt cannot hold data for side-by-side access

Explanation

Secondary storage retains data even when power is turned off, meaning it does not require a constant power supply. Unlike primary memory, which needs power to maintain information, secondary storage is non-volatile. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because secondary storage can use magnetic media, includes various types beyond just four devices, and is designed for data retrieval rather than lateral access.
