The correct answer is C. VRAM. VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory built onto or used exclusively by a graphics processing unit (GPU). It stores frame buffer data, textures, and other graphical assets that the GPU needs to render images rapidly. VRAM is designed for high bandwidth and simultaneous read/write

Explanation

VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory built onto or used exclusively by a graphics processing unit (GPU). It stores frame buffer data, textures, and other graphical assets that the GPU needs to render images rapidly. VRAM is designed for high bandwidth and simultaneous read/write access, which standard system RAM is not optimized for. SRAM (Static RAM) is fast cache memory used in CPUs, not GPUs. MicroDIMM is a small form-factor RAM module used in compact devices like laptops, not a GPU-specific type. Unbuffered DIMM is standard system RAM used in desktop motherboards without a register chip, and has no special association with graphics processing.
