1. Which of the following is not considered as hardware?
CPU
Monitor
Hard disk
BIOS
Correct Answer :
BIOS
Solution
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a type of firmware that is stored on a chip on the motherboard. It is a software component that helps initialize hardware during the boot process and provides runtime services for operating systems and programs. Although it resides on a hardware chip, BIOS itself is not considered hardware but rather the software (firmware) on that chip.
