    What does ECC in memory primarily protect against?

    ক)
    Permanent NAND wear
    খ)
    Single-bit DRAM errors with correction
    গ)
    CPU overvoltage
    ঘ)
    Network packet loss

    Explanation

    ECC DIMMs add parity/check bits to detect and correct single-bit errors and detect multi-bit errors. Cosmic rays, noise, and marginal cells cause soft errors. Servers and workstations use ECC for reliability. It pairs with memory scrubbing to reduce latent faults.
