• A. Memory
• B. Address
• C. Buffer
• D. Accumulator

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Buffer

• A storage area used to store data to compensate for the difference in speed at which different units can handle data is called a buffer.

• A buffer is a region of memory used to temporarily hold data while it is being moved from one place to another, typically when two devices or processes operate at different data rates or with varying speeds.

• Buffers prevent data loss and allow each device or process to operate efficiently by providing a holding area that bridges the gap between input speed and output speed
