Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is ROM.
Key Points
- ROM (Read-Only Memory): Stores data permanently and retains it even without power. This makes it an ideal location for the BIOS, as it needs to be available from the very first moment the computer is powered on.
Additional Information
- RAM (Random Access Memory): Stores data temporarily and loses it when power is lost. BIOS needs to be preserved even when the computer is turned off, so it can't be stored in RAM.
- ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit): Is a processing unit within the CPU, not a storage device. It performs calculations and logical operations on data, not storing it.
- Peripherals: Are external devices connected to the computer (like printers, drives, etc.). None of these devices stores the BIOS.
