D Correct answer
Explanation

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is stored on a flash memory chip on the computer's motherboard. This allows it to be non-volatile (retained when power is off) while also being updateable through 'flashing.' The BIOS is NOT stored on removable media like hard drives, diskettes, or USB drives - it must be permanently accessible during boot.
