CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep

Answer: B - When RAM and secondary storage is combined, virtual memory is created. The system uses hard drive space to extend its RAM memory space. Wasp space is the reserved hard drive space used to extend RAM capabilities. When a system fills up its volatile memory space, it writes data from memory, not the hard drive. When a program requests access to this data, it is brought from the hard drive back into memory in specified units called pages. This process is called virtual memory paging.
