Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A BIOS update interrupted by a power outage can corrupt the BIOS, making the computer unbootable. Many motherboards come with a backup BIOS that can be used to recover from such a failure (A). If the motherboard does not have a backup BIOS or the backup BIOS cannot be accessed, the motherboard may need to be replaced (E) because the BIOS is a critical component for booting the computer, and if it's corrupted and cannot be recovered, the whole motherboard becomes unusable.
