Which of the following memory types comes in the SIMM variety?

The correct answer is A. SDRAM. SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) was available in both 72-pin SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) and later 168-pin DIMM form factors. DDR2 (C), DDR3 (B), and RDRAM (D) all use DIMM or RIMM form factors exclusively, not SIMMs. SIMMs are an older standard where the contacts on both sides…

Explanation

SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) was available in both 72-pin SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module) and later 168-pin DIMM form factors. DDR2 (C), DDR3 (B), and RDRAM (D) all use DIMM or RIMM form factors exclusively, not SIMMs. SIMMs are an older standard where the contacts on both sides of the module are electrically identical, whereas DIMMs have independent contacts on each side.
