The correct answer is B. HDD.
The HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is a storage device that retains data long term, even when the computer is powered off. Unlike RAM (Random Access Memory), which only holds data temporarily while the computer is on, the HDD can store files, applications, and the operating system permanently until deleted or overwritten.
