Which part of the computer stores data long term, even if the computer is shut off?

The correct answer is B. HDD (Hard Disk Drive).
The HDD is a storage device that retains data long term, even when the power is turned off, making it suitable for saving files, applications, and the operating system. In contrast, RAM (Random Access Memory) only stores data temporarily while the computer is running.
