    Question



    With respect to Computers, BIOS is an acronym for:

    A.

    Binary Input Output Source

    B.

    Basic Input Output Support

    C.

    Binary Input Output System

    D.

    Basic Input Output System

    Correct option is D

    BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware used during the booting process of a computer. It initializes and tests the hardware components, and loads the operating system from the storage device.
    Information Booster:
    1. BIOS is stored on a ROM chip and helps in booting up the system.
    2. It checks the system for hardware errors and loads the bootloader or operating system.
    Additional Knowledge:
    Modern systems use UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) instead of BIOS, which offers faster boot times and additional features.
