Solution(By Examveda Team)

The secondary storage devices can only store data but they cannot perform either of the above. Secondary storage devices such as flash memory, hard disk, floppy disks, magnetic tape, paper tape, etc are only used in the storage of data and it lacks arithmetic, logic and fetches operations.
