Answer 1

The correct response is:

It takes just about the same amount of time to retrieve data from one part of RAM as another.

This benefit of RAM's non-sequential access allows for faster read and write operations, enhancing overall system performance as the CPU can quickly access any data it needs without waiting for it to be found in a specific order.
