Answer:

C. Computer

Step-by-step explanation:

In some kind of a way, human and computer memory have resemblances. A human's short-term memory looks like computer's RAM. Human's short-term memory is limited and volatile, the same is for computer's RAM. A computer doesn't have enough memory very often, and when it's turned off, all of the data disappears. That's why our long-term memory is similar to computer's hard drive -- both our memory and computer's hard drive take long time to respond, but can store a big amount of data. The difference between hard drive and human's memory -- the longer the information stays in the computer, it doesn't change a bit, but when it comes to humans, the longer they are in our memory, they will continue to change and reconstruct the events as a response to changes in our moods or states of mind.
