Correct answer: C. 700 MB
- A. 1.44 MB
- B. 650 MB
- C. 700 MB
- D. 4.7 GB
Explanation
The typical capacity of a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) is approximately 700 megabytes (MB) or 0.7 gigabytes (GB). The other options are incorrect because (a) 1.44 MB is the capacity of a floppy disk, (b) 650 MB is slightly lower than the standard CD-ROM capacity, and (d) 4.7 GB is the approximate capacity of a single-layer DVD-ROM, which is a different optical disc format.
