B
Correct answer
Explanation
The Master Boot Record (MBR) is located in the first sector of a hard drive and contains the code necessary to start the boot process. It identifies where the operating system is located so it can be loaded into the computer's RAM. Without this small program, the computer would not know how to load the OS from the disk.
