Explanation

Desktop computers use full-size DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sticks, and DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) is a standard desktop DIMM form factor/generation. Among the choices, it is the only option that fits a typical desktop. SODIMM (A) is the smaller form factor used in laptops and compact devices, not standard desktops. ECC (C) (Error-Correcting Code) RAM is used in servers and workstations requiring high reliability, not typical consumer desktops. VRAM (D) is video RAM located on a GPU, not general-purpose system RAM.
