Which of the following statements about storage in processing is correct?

Storage is always considered part of processing.
Storage is never considered part of processing.
Storage may or may not be considered part of processing.
Storage is considered part of processing only in certain models.

The correct answer is: Storage may or may not be considered part of processing.

In computing, storage and processing are two essential functions. Storage refers to holding data for future use, while processing involves manipulating data to produce an output. The correct statement is that storage may or may not be considered part of processing. In some computing models or systems, storage and processing are distinct functions, where data is stored separately from where processing occurs. On the other hand, in some models, storage is intricately linked with processing, such as in systems where data is stored in the same location where processing takes place. Therefore, the relationship between storage and processing can vary based on the specific system or model being used.
