Sam wanted to open a file that he saved yesterday. which component inside the computer stores this file? the hard drive the fax machine the cpu the motherboard

THE HARD DRIVE

Explanation:

The hard drive also known as hard disk drive is a memory hard ware on a desktop or laptop that uses magnetic storage system to store and retrieve  files on a computer, it stores file for personal use and also for the operating system of the computer .

If SAM wants to open a file that he saved the hard drive will be where the file will be retrieved from because that is storage component of the computer not the CPU which is just a processing unit while the mother board is the component of the computer that houses very important components like the CPU,memory and input and output devices connectors.

the fax machine is not a component of a computer it is machine on its own.
