Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Hibernate mode saves all the current information on the hard drive before powering off, so the computer can quickly resume to its prior state when turned back on. Sleep mode saves data in the random access memory (RAM) and consumes low power, but takes longer to start up and may cause data loss if the battery dies. Drowse mode and Airplane Mode are not power options that store data or affect how quickly a computer can resume from reduced-power state.
