Which of the following is a benefit of using ECC memory?

The correct answer is A. Corrects memory errors. ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory includes extra bits and circuitry that can automatically detect and correct single-bit memory errors in real time, improving system stability and data integrity. This is critical in servers and workstations where data reliability is paramount…

Explanation

ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory includes extra bits and circuitry that can automatically detect and correct single-bit memory errors in real time, improving system stability and data integrity. This is critical in servers and workstations where data reliability is paramount. ECC does not determine 64-bit OS support (that is a CPU architecture feature), does not prevent disk/storage errors, and does not inherently use lower voltage - those are unrelated characteristics.
