  2. B
    Standard DIMM
  3. C

Answer

SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is the correct form factor used for laptop system memory upgrades.
SO-DIMMs (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules) are small-form-factor memory packages engineered specifically for laptops, all-in-one PCs, and small form factor system boards.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the physical constraints and requirements of laptop system memory.
Laptops require compact hardware components due to space limitations inside the chassis.
Full-sized desktop components cannot fit in mobile form factors.
2
Select the RAM module form factor built specifically for laptops.
SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) matches laptop motherboards.
SO-DIMM modules are roughly half the length of standard desktop DIMM modules.
