Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

BIOS (Basic Input Output System) software is stored on a non-volatile ROM chip on the motherboard. In modern computer systems, the BIOS contents are stored on a flash memory chip so that the contents can be rewritten without removing the chip from the motherboard.
