Selected Answer: B
It is most likely that the technician would use DDR3 RAM (Option B). DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) is the third generation of DDR memory and has become the standard type of RAM used in desktop computers. SODIMM (Option A) is commonly used in laptops and other compact devices, ECC (Option C) is used in servers and high-end workstations to ensure data integrity, and VRAM (Option D) is used in graphics cards for video memory. So, for a typical desktop computer, DDR3 would be the most likely option for adding additional RAM.

I mean, out of the given answers, DDR3 is the BEST answer but in reality, try building a computer with DDR3 RAM in 2023... DDR3 RAM was phased out in 2022. I just built my DDR5 system but DDR4 has been the standard since 2014. Almost 10 years. Followed by DDR5 in 2021. JEDEC announced the publication of the JESD79-5 DDR5 SDRAM standard in July 2021. DDR3 released in 2007... It's all about the BEST answer for the question.

Selected Answer: B
DDR3 is the most likely type of RAM to be used in a desktop computer. Random Access Memory (RAM) is a type of computer memory that is used to store data that is being actively used or accessed by the processor. There are several types of RAM that are commonly used in computers, including: SODIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module): A type of RAM that is used in laptop computers and other small form-factor devices. DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3): A type of RAM that is commonly used in desktop computers. It is faster and more energy-efficient than its predecessor, DDR2. ECC (Error Correcting Code): A type of RAM that is used in mission-critical environments where data integrity is important. It includes an additional set of data bits that are used to detect and correct errors in the data. VRAM (Video Random Access Memory): A type of RAM that is used in graphics cards to store the data that is used to generate images on the display.

The question referred exclusively to additional memory for a desktop computer, but not for a laptop. So in that case, answer B is correct. ;)
