Question

Permanent instructions that the computer use when it is turned ON and that cannot be changed by other instructions are contained in:

• A. ROM
• B. RAM
• C. ALU
• D. SRAM

Hint:

ROM stands for Read-Only Memory and is used to store permanent instructions like the computer's boot-up process, which cannot be modified by regular software instructions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Permanent instructions that are used when the computer is turned on, such as the boot process or system firmware, are stored in ROM (Read-Only Memory). ROM is non-volatile memory that retains its data even when the power is turned off, and the data in ROM cannot be modified by other instructions during the normal operation of the computer. Thus, the correct answer is (a) ROM.
