Explanation / Answer

yes D is correct. Virtual memory is always located on the hard drive. That is, after all, where the pagefile is, which is where virtual memory is stored.

Virtual memory is significantly slower than RAM and as such is used as a last resort - but the space is ALWAYS reserved on your hard drive so it can be used in an emergency situation
