      What is the function of the cache memory in a computer's

      memory hierarchy?
      A To control the flow of data between the CPU and memory. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B To provide permanent storage for data and files. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C To manage the allocation of memory resources to different programs. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D To store frequently used data for faster access by the CPU. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cache memory is RAM that a microprocessor can access faster than it can access regular RAM. It is often tied directly to the CPU and is used to cache instructions that are accessed a lot. A RAM cache is faster than a disk-based one, but cache memory is faster than a RAM cache because it's close to the CPU.
