The correct answer is

RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the primary memory of a computer system, directly accessed by the CPU to store data and instructions that are currently in use for fast processing.

CD-ROM, pen drives, and hard disks are all secondary storage devices used for long-term data storage, and they are not directly accessed by the CPU during active processing.

Therefore, RAM is the primary memory in a computer system.
