EEPROM in AVR chips does not lose its data when power is off, whereas _________ does

EEPROM is used for storing data that should rarely be changed and should not be lost when the power is off; whereas _________ is used for storing data and parameters that are changed frequently

The GPRS, SFRs, and internal data _________ are made of SRAM

In AVR datasheets, EEPROM refers to the EEPROM’s size, and _________ is the internal SRAM size
