What type of memory does an MMC card use for storing data?

  1. Semi-permanent memory

  2. Reprogrammable memory

  3. Static memory

  4. Flash memory

The correct answer is: Reprogrammable memory

An MMC (MultiMediaCard) card utilizes flash memory for data storage. Flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage that retains data even when the power is turned off, which is essential for portable storage solutions like MMC cards. It allows for high-density data storage and is commonly used in various electronic devices, including cameras, smartphones, and tablets. The other types of memory mentioned, such as semi-permanent memory and static memory, refer to different storage characteristics that do not apply to MMC cards. Semi-permanent memory would imply a form of memory that exists for some duration but is not truly non-volatile, while static memory usually refers to SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory), which is volatile and used primarily for cache memory in computers rather than for storing data in removable storage media. Reprogrammable memory generally suggests memory that can undergo multiple write and erase cycles like some types of EEPROM, but it does not accurately describe the mechanical principles and typical use cases for MMC cards.
