Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Disc Operating System (DOS).
Disc Operating System (DOS) is incorrect because it's an outdated operating system that allows files to be easily modified and deleted, violating the DRE's requirement for unalterable final documents.
Save Now, Always and Keep Electronic (SNAKE).
Save Now, Always and Keep Electronic (SNAKE) is incorrect as it's not a recognized electronic document storage method and doesn't provide the unalterable feature required by the DRE.
Write Once Read Many (WORM).
What method of electronic document storage is required by the Department of Real Estate (DRE)? a. Disc Operating System (DOS). b. Save Now, Always and Keep Electronic (SNAKE). c. Write Once Read Many (WORM). d. Random Access Memory (RAM).
Random Access Memory (RAM) is incorrect because it's volatile memory that loses data when power is turned off and allows for constant modification, making it unsuitable for permanent document storage.
Why is this correct?
WORM (Write Once Read Many) is the correct method because it creates a permanent, unchangeable record once information is written. This ensures document integrity and prevents unauthorized alterations, which is exactly what the DRE requires for storing final real estate documents electronically.
