Answer

Correct Answer: EEPROM

Explanation

GivenAsked: a type of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory.

Concept/Approach

  • PROM: one-time programmable, not erasable.
  • EPROM: erasable with UV light, not electrically.
  • EEPROM: erasable and programmable electrically, cell-by-cell or in blocks.
  • Flash memory: a high-density block-erasable form of EEPROM.

Final AnswerEEPROM. (Note: Flash is a specialized EEPROM variant.)
