The answer is B: Random-Access Memory (RAM)

Random-Access Memory is the working memory the computer uses to store machine code and data currently or actively being used. It is always under the control of the CPU and is able to retrieve the value of any particular byte in nanoseconds.  The work of the CPU is to actively run and manipulate the code while the RAM stores that data. In this example, the CPU is responsible for the calculations. These calculations will be manipulated and then stored temporarily on the RAM for easier retrieval.
