Where bootstrap program is stored?

  • A.RAM
  • B.ROM
  • C.Hard disk
  • D.Pen drive

Answer: B

The bootstrap program is stored in ROM.

The bootstrap loader is the small program that runs when a computer is switched on: it tests the hardware and loads the operating system into memory. It must be available the moment power comes on, so it is kept in read-only memory (or firmware such as BIOS or UEFI chips), which is non-volatile and keeps its contents without power.

RAM is volatile and is empty at start-up. The hard disk holds the operating system that the bootstrap program loads, but the loader itself is not run from there. A pen drive is removable storage.
