D. Cache Memory
Answer: Option C
Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) is a special
type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an electrical charge.
Like other types of PROM, EEPROM retains its contents even when the
power is turned off. Also like other types of ROM, EEPROM is not as fast
as RAM.

EEPROM is similar to Flash Memory (sometimes called flash EEPROM).

The principal difference is that EEPROM requires data to be written or
erased one byte at a time whereas flash memory allows data to be
written or erased in blocks. This makes flash memory faster.
