C Correct answer
Explanation

POST (Power-On Self-Test) is the BIOS process that checks essential hardware components including peripherals during boot.

CMOS stores BIOS settings, ROM contains the BIOS code itself, and configuration is a general concept. POST specifically performs the peripheral operational check.
