Question

which of the following terms refers to the area of the hard drive used for virtual memory? a. virtual file b. data file c. swap file d. volatile file

Explanation:

Virtual memory uses a swap file on the hard - drive. A swap file is a space on the hard drive that the operating system uses to temporarily store data when the physical memory (RAM) is full. Virtual file is not the correct term for this area. A data file is a general term for a file that stores data and is not specific to virtual memory. A volatile file refers to data that is lost when power is removed, which is not related to the hard - drive area for virtual memory.

Answer:

C. swap file
