Solution

The correct option is C Firmware

The programs which are as permanent as hardware and stored in ROM is known as Firmware.

ROM stands for read-only memory. It's used to store the start-up instructions for a computer, also known as the firmware. Most modern computers use flash-based ROM. It is part of the BIOS chip, which is located on the motherboard.

The process of storing and then performing the instructions is called “running,” or “executing,” a program. By contrast, software programs and procedures that are permanently stored in a computer's memory using a read-only (ROM) technology are called firmware, or “hard software.”

Firmware is data that is stored on a computer or other hardware device's read-only memory (ROM) that provides instruction on how that device should operate.
