Why primary storage is not the right answer as we know all the temporary data or the data during execution of any process is stored in primary storage. Maybe there is a slight difference between primary storage and intermediate storage. Please, could anyone explain?

Ok. then what is the purpose of registers....? According to, micro controllers we study only registers are used for storing the data as temporally which is used for execution. after execution , data again store in temporary registers and go back to memory.

Intermediate storage: Any part or type of storage that is used for holding information between steps in its processing.
Cache memory is used as an intermediate storage by the processor because it is much faster than primary memory.

I think, Intermediate storage (buffer) can be applied only, when 2 systems speed are not even.
e.g: Download information some link, can first stored on buffer. From buffer only it can be send to storage device.

I think when data is under process then operations need to store the data any where before completing the operations. And when operation to be performed on data is done the data goes to the permanent storage.

Because the user cannot know what the process is held between the input given from the user & the output display-so it act as a interferance medium between the user & the computer.

Which device is mind for storing data temporary? when you are inputting data which device receives it before processing it?
I will also like to know what intermediate storage is.

This storage is called buffering. Buffers are used to store temporary data between processors. One should not get confused with GPR and buffers.

No. They are not the same. Buffers are used only in the case of speed mismatch and registers are meant for temporary data storage.

Speed mismatch means when fast device sendind data to slow device. So to provide synchronization between them buffers are used.
