I thought the answer was D. DIMM but it wasn't. I been searching through my book for an hour and I cant find the answer otherwise I wouldn't have asked on here.

In this case, if you are required to install memory in pairs for the system to work, you are most likely using SIMM (Single In-Line Memory Module).

To arrive at this conclusion, let's break down the different memory module options given:

A. SIMM (Single In-Line Memory Module): This type of memory module was commonly used in older computer systems. SIMMs have a similar number of electrical contacts on both sides of the module. They are typically inserted into memory slots on the motherboard in pairs (matching slots), which means you need to install memory in pairs for the system to function properly.

B. SIPP (Single In-Line Pin Package): SIPP modules were rarely used and are much less common compared to SIMMs. They have pins extending from the bottom and generally offer a higher memory capacity than SIMMs. However, they do not require installation in pairs, so they don't meet the requirement mentioned in the question.

C. DIPP (Dual In-Line Pin Package): DIPP refers to the older style of memory modules that featured sockets with pins extending out from both sides. Similar to SIMMs, DIPP modules are rarely used nowadays, and they do not require installation in pairs.

Considering the requirement of installing memory in pairs, the most likely option is A. SIMM (Single In-Line Memory Module).
