Answer: C
The loader is the Boot strap loader.
When a computer is switched on or restarted, a small absolute loader stored in ROM, the bootstrap loader, runs first. It loads the operating system (or a larger loader) into memory from a fixed location and transfers control to it. The name comes from 'pulling oneself up by one's bootstraps'.
A compile-and-go loader places compiled code straight into memory and runs it, and a relocating loader adjusts addresses when loading programs; neither runs at power-on. 'Boot loader' is the informal name, but the textbook term for this absolute loader is the bootstrap loader.
