All of the following are terms related to part of the boot process EXCEPT ________. (1 point) RAM CMOS USB ROM

The term that is not related to the boot process is "USB". Here's why:

1. RAM (Random Access Memory): This is where the computer temporarily stores data that it is currently working with. It is used during the boot process to load the operating system and other startup programs.

2. CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor): This is a type of memory that stores information about the computer's hardware configuration, including the boot sequence. It is used during the boot process to determine which devices the computer should try to boot from.

3. ROM (Read-Only Memory): This is where the computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is stored. The BIOS is the program that starts the boot process when you turn on your computer.

4. USB (Universal Serial Bus): This is a type of connection used to connect various peripherals (like keyboards, mice, printers, etc.) to the computer. While you can boot a computer from a USB device, the term "USB" itself is not specifically related to the boot process.
