Ensuring that the essential peripheral devices are attached and operational is the ____ Process.

Configuration
CMOS
POST
ROM

The correct answer is C. POST.

POST stands for Power-On Self-Test. It is a process that is performed by the computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) when the computer is turned on. The purpose of POST is to check the hardware components of the computer to make sure that they are working properly. If any problems are detected, POST will generate an error code that can be used to troubleshoot the problem.

Configuration is the process of setting up the hardware and software of a computer. This includes tasks such as setting the date and time, configuring the network, and installing drivers.

CMOS is a type of memory that is used to store the configuration settings of a computer. This includes the date and time, the system settings, and the hardware configuration.

ROM is a type of memory that is used to store the BIOS. The BIOS is a program that is responsible for initializing the hardware and loading the operating system.
