            Answer is Wrong!
            Answer is Right!
        The correct answer is: B. start up the operating system.
ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a type of memory that stores permanent data. This data is usually stored by the manufacturer of the computer and cannot be changed by the user. The ROM contains the instructions that the computer needs to start up and run the operating system.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A. Disconnecting the computer is not a function of ROM.
- C. Connecting to the hardware is not a function of ROM.
- D. Turning on the computer is not a function of ROM.
- E. Passing on data to the RAM is a function of the CPU, not ROM.
