Question

the bootstrap program executes which of the following? a. startup apps that display the desktop b. tests that check components such as ram and storage c. vital security protections d. stored user preferences

Explanation:

The bootstrap program first performs Power - On Self - Test (POST) which checks components like RAM and storage for proper functioning before loading the operating system. It doesn't directly execute startup apps for desktop display, vital security protections, or stored user preferences at the initial execution stage.

Answer:

B. tests that check components such as RAM and storage
