Answers
The booting process is very important for one's computer whenever one wants to perform it.
The boot loaders are used to find out for any information from the interface where all information is stored.
Just after the power button goes, the boot loader starts to pull all memory and every time we wish to switch on our computer again, the power on self test starts to work.
The second option is someway a part of the first option as when we boot a system, it starts to function the kernel memory and the kernel fully boots itself before anything is left.
Again third part follows after this just before the system needs to be rebooted. It ensures that no damage is caused to the computer.
Hence the correct order is option C i.e. i, ii, iii.
Answer:
(b) iii, i, ii is the correct order of events.
