Answer: D - Random Access Memory (RAM)

Step-by-step explanation:

Read-only memory, or ROM, is not volatile, as it stores instructions from the computer. Flash memory and hard disks both are meant to store data, so they're not volatile either. However, RAM is volatile, which makes sense to be the only answer.
