Q. The basic input /output system (BIOS) is stored in:
✅ Correct Answer: (B)
EEPROM
Explanation:
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware stored in non-volatile memory so it remains even when the computer is powered off.
- Modern systems use EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) or Flash memory to store BIOS, allowing updates.
- RAM is volatile and loses data when power is off.
- ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is part of the CPU, not storage.
- Peripherals are external devices, not where BIOS is stored.
