Microsoft

All of the above

Correct Answer : Option (D) - All of the above



A CD-ROM is a pre-pressed optical compact disc which contains data. The name is an acronym which is short for "Compact Disc Read-Only Memory". Computers can read CD-ROMs, but cannot write to CD-ROMs, which are not writable or erasable.
 
Several formats are used for data stored on compact discs, known as the Rainbow Books. The Yellow Book, published in 1988, defines the specifications for CD-ROMs, standardized in 1989 as the ISO/IEC 10149 / ECMA-130 standard. The CD-ROM standard builds on top of the original Red Book CD-DA standard for CD audio. Other standards, such as the White Book for Video CDs, further define formats based on the CD-ROM specifications. The Yellow Book itself is not freely available, but the standards with the corresponding content can be downloaded for free from ISO or ECMA.
