Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is stored in a ROM (Read-Only Memory) chip on the motherboard. Flashing the BIOS involves writing a new BIOS directly to this chip, which is why C (ROM) is the correct answer. The Northbridge and Southbridge chips are responsible for communication between the CPU and other components, and have no direct involvement in BIOS flashing. RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory that is erased when power is lost, and is not used for storing the BIOS.
