The correct answer is: B. Bootstrap program
A bootstrap program is a small program that is stored in the computer's ROM (Read-Only Memory). When the computer is turned on, the bootstrap program is executed first. The bootstrap program then loads the operating system into RAM (Random Access Memory). The operating system is then responsible for managing the computer's resources and running applications.
The other options are incorrect because:
- BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a firmware that is stored on a chip on the motherboard. The BIOS provides basic input/output services to the operating system.
- Device driver is a software program that allows the operating system to communicate with a hardware device.
- Supervisor program is a program that runs in kernel mode and has access to all of the computer's resources.
