Answer:

B. Firmware

Read Explanation:

Firmware is a specific class of computer software that provides the low-level control for a device's specific hardware. Because it is stored on ROM, it is non-volatile, meaning it doesn't get erased when the device is turned off.

Common Examples:

  • BIOS / UEFI: The program on a computer's motherboard that initializes hardware during the boot process.

  • Embedded Systems: The internal programs that run household appliances (like microwaves and washing machines), television remote controls, and digital watches.
