Suppose that the register A and the register K have the bit configuration. Only the three leftmost bits of A are compared with memory words because K has 1’s in these positions. Because of its organization, this type of memory is uniquely suited to parallel searches by data association. This type of memory is known as
A. RAM
B. ROM
C. Content addressable memory
D. Secondary memory
