Option E is false.

Explanation:

Option A is true.

When you first turn on your computer, RAM is empty. RAM holds processed data before it is stored more permanently on disk. RAM is also volatile memory.

Option B is true.

The processor can run a program only if it is available in RAM. We have to bring a program into the RAM before running it.

Option C is true.

To run a program, the operating system finds the program in flash memory and loads it in RAM because flash memory is a non-volatile memory and it keeps its data until you delete it.

Option D is true.

Flash drives use the type of memory that holds data even when they are not connected to a power source because flash memory is a non-volatile type of memory. and it contains its content when it is not connected to a power source.

so only Option E is false.
