Question #3
What is the relationship between access speed and storage capacity across the standard computer memory hierarchy?
A. Lower capacity devices always exhibit the slowest access times.
B. As storage capacity increases, the relative access speed generally decreases.
C. Devices with larger capacities always feature the fastest access speeds.
D. Access speed and capacity are completely identical metrics across all levels.
