Yes, I am sure. CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, which is another name for the processor.

Miguel is working on his computer, but it is storming outside and he is worried that a power surge might cause his computer to turn off unexpectedly. If the power goes out during the storm, which location will cause his data to be lost if it is stored there?

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, random access memory (RAM) is a volatile memory and data stored in RAM will be lost if there is a power outage. The correct answer is hard disk drive (HDD) as data stored on a regular hard drive can be lost during a power outage if it is not properly saved or backed up.
What does random access memory (RAM) store?
