Question #3
What is the main difference between SRAM and DRAM?
A. SRAM needs refreshing; DRAM does not
B. SRAM is non-volatile; DRAM is volatile
C. SRAM is slower than DRAM
D. SRAM uses flip-flops; DRAM uses capacitors

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
SRAM uses flip-flop circuits to store each bit, while DRAM uses a capacitor and a transistor. SRAM is faster and does not need refreshing, but is more expensive. Both are volatile.
