Given below are two statements in respect of computers:

Statement (I): A DVD-ROM is an optical storage media, and it can be written many times.

Statement (II): Software is loaded into secondary storage from RAM and is then executed by CPU.

In the light of the above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is Both statement (I) and statement (11) are false.

Let us analyze both statements step-by-step to understand why they are incorrect:

Analysis of Statement (I):
A DVD-ROM stands for Digital Versatile Disc - Read-Only Memory. While it is true that a DVD-ROM is an optical storage medium, the term "ROM" (Read-Only Memory) indicates that the data stored on it is permanently written during manufacturing. Users cannot write, edit, or erase data on a DVD-ROM. For writing data multiple times, rewritable optical media such as DVD-RW or DVD+RW are used. Therefore, Statement (I) is false.

Analysis of Statement (II):
In a computer system, software applications and files are permanently stored on secondary storage devices (such as Hard Disk Drives or Solid State Drives). When a user runs a program, the software is loaded from the secondary storage into the RAM (Random Access Memory), which acts as the primary working memory. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) then reads the instructions directly from the RAM to execute them. Statement (II) incorrectly claims the reverse pathway (loading from RAM into secondary storage for execution). Therefore, Statement (II) is false.
