Explanation

SODIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) is the memory form factor designed specifically for laptops and other compact devices. It is physically smaller than a standard DIMM, which is used in desktop computers. RIMM (Rambus Inline Memory Module) is an older, largely obsolete standard. SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) is a very old form factor no longer used in modern systems. Since the question specifies a laptop, SODIMM is the correct and only practical choice.
