Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "bootstrap" refers to the process of loading the core components of an operating system into memory when the system is started. The small program that initiates this process is known as the "bootstrap loader" or "boot loader." This program is typically stored in ROM (Read-Only Memory) and provides instructions that are essential for loading the operating system into memory. Therefore, the best choice is C, "bootstrap." Choices A, B, and D are not related to the process of booting an operating system.
