Common mistakes.

B. The area under the touchpad houses the touchpad hardware and its ribbon cable connections, not memory slots, and is not a standard RAM access point.
C. Behind the LCD screen contains display components such as the inverter, webcam, and antenna wires - RAM is not placed there due to heat and access constraints.
D. The optical drive bay holds the optical disc drive and uses a SATA connector; it is not designed or used as a RAM access location.
