Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Firmware is software that is stored permanently in ROM (Read-Only Memory) chips. Unlike regular software that can be easily modified, firmware provides the basic instructions for device operation and remains constant. Malware and spyware are malicious programs that would not be permanently stored in ROM by design. 'All of these' is incorrect because only firmware is the correct term for ROM-stored programs.
