Answer : 2. "in secondary storage"
Explanation :

The data remains the same after saving the file and turning off the computer when it is stored in secondary storage. Secondary storage devices, such as hard drives, solid-state drives, and optical discs, are non-volatile storage media. This means that they retain data even when the power is turned off. Unlike volatile memory (such as RAM), which loses its content when the computer is powered down, data stored in secondary storage remains intact until it is intentionally deleted or modified.

Answer : 1. "cache memory"
Explanation :

Cache memory has the least access time among the options provided. Cache memory is a high-speed type of volatile computer memory that provides high-speed data storage and access to the processor. It is faster than main memory (RAM) because it is located on the CPU chip or very close to it and stores frequently accessed data and instructions. Accessing data from cache memory is much quicker compared to accessing it from RAM, making cache memory the fastest type of memory in terms of access time.

Answer : 4. "all of the above"
Explanation :

An array is used to store values in memory. Arrays allow you to store multiple values of the same data type under a single variable name, making it easier to manage and manipulate data in programming. Arrays are commonly used in various programming languages for tasks such as storing collections of data, performing calculations on large sets of values, and iterating through elements to process them. Arrays are not used for deleting values in memory or for output; their primary purpose is to store and organize data.
