✅ Correct Answer: (C)
William’s Tube
Explanation:
The William’s Tube was the first practical form of Random Access Memory (RAM). It was a type of cathode ray tube used in early computers to store data. It allowed for the storage of data in a way that could be randomly accessed, unlike earlier storage methods, which required sequential access.
- (A) SSEM (Small-Scale Experimental Machine) was the first stored-program computer, but not the first practical RAM.
- (B) Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) refers to the display technology used in early monitors, not directly related to RAM.
- (D) Thomas’s Tube is not a well-known term in computer history related to memory technology.
