Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
A computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) is a program that's stored in nonvolatile memory such as read-only memory (ROM) or flash memory, making it firmware. The BIOS (sometimes called ROM BIOS) is always the first program that executes when a computer is powered up.

It is actually located in the ROM (Read-Only Memory) of the computer. More specifically, it resides in an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) chip. So, as soon as you turn your computer on, the CPU accesses the EPROM and gives control to the BIOS. The BIOS also is used after the computer has booted up.
