    hierarchy from the fastest to the slowest: Cache memory, Main memory (RAM), Hard disk.
    A Main memory (RAM), Hard disk (Slowest, largest capacity), Cache memory (Fastest, smallest capacity) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Cache memory (Fastest, smallest capacity) Hard disk (Slowest, largest capacity) ,Main memory (RAM), Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Cache memory (Fastest, smallest capacity) ,Main memory (RAM), Hard disk (Slowest, largest capacity) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Hard disk (Slowest, largest capacity), Cache memory (Fastest, smallest capacity) ,Main memory (RAM) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The memory hierarchy typically follows the order from fastest and smallest capacity to slowest and largest capacity: 1. Cache memory (Fastest, smallest capacity) 2. Main memory (RAM) 3. Hard disk (Slowest, largest capacity)
