Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. The computer's "short-term memory" is too full to run the app.

Explanation: RAM (Random Access Memory) is hardware that acts like a "work table." If the table is covered in other projects (too many apps open), there isn't enough room for a new piece of software to start working.
