Final answer:
The file stored in RAM when the laptop is charged remains in RAM. Charging does not affect the data in RAM; it requires the computer to turn off or the application to close for RAM to be cleared.
The correct answer is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a file is stored in RAM (Random Access Memory), its fate upon charging the laptop is not directly affected. RAM is a volatile type of memory used to store data that your computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly. Whether the laptop is running on battery power or is plugged in and charging, the files stored in RAM will remain there until one of the following occurs:
- The application holding the file in RAM is closed
- The data is deliberately saved to a non-volatile storage medium like the hard drive or SSD
- The laptop is turned off or restarted, which clears the RAM
Therefore, the correct answer to "What happens to the file stored in RAM when the laptop is charged?" is b) The file remains in RAM.
