yes it is stored in CMOS
BIOS configuration data is stored in CMOS memory. That is where all the basic hardware settings are kept. CMOS has traditionally been volatile memory, so a battery is required. Newer BIOSes often use NVRAM.
All the settings from the BIOS are stored in a chip which is located on the motherboard. That chip is called EEPROM (electrically erasable PROM).BIOS configuration setting is store in special memory called CMOS. Which is little powered by a battery. RAM is volatile so when computer turned off, all data lost.This can also happen with CMOS but due to this purpose it is powered by battery. It consumption of power is very low and it can store data for 1 year.CMOS stand for "Complementary Metal Oxides Semiconductor".
Most new computers can automatically determine the correct settings needed for your hardware, and some even store configuration data in a non-volatile Flash chip. These computers effectively do not need a CMOS battery for anything except maintaining the correct time. Older computers, where you had to specify the parameters for the hard drive in the BIOS, need a CMOS battery. Otherwise, you would have to enter them in every time you booted the computer.
This is the right answer:Ntdetect.comAfter the boot selection is made, Ntldr loads and executes this 16-bit real-mode program to query the computer for basic device and configuration information. This information includes the following:The time and date information stored in the system's CMOS (nonvolatile memory).The types of buses (for example, ISA, PCI, EISA, Micro Channel Architecture [MCA]) on the system and identifiers for devices attached to the buses.The number, size, and type of disk drives on the system.The types of mouse input devices connected to the system.The number and type of parallel ports configured on the system
Which of the following holds the system date and time

List three ways in whicn configuration information can be stored in a motherboard
When you enter the CMOS setup utility and make changes, your settings are stored in a small memory chip on the motherboard called the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) chip. This chip retains the settings even when the computer is powered off, thanks to a small battery that supplies power to it. The settings typically include system time, hardware configuration, and boot order. If the battery fails, the CMOS settings can reset to default.

It keeps so called internal hardware time and settings related to current hardware configuration, boot order and so on.
A CMOS jumper is a small connector on a computer's motherboard that allows users to reset the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) memory, which stores BIOS settings, including system clock and hardware configuration. By changing the position of the jumper, users can clear the CMOS settings, often used for troubleshooting or when a password is forgotten. Typically, the jumper consists of three pins, with the default configuration connecting two of the pins, and moving the jumper to connect the other pin temporarily resets the stored settings. After resetting, the jumper is returned to its original position to restore normal operation.
In the CMOS. System CMOS Date/Time is stored in the configuration settings in memory timing to be used by BIOS upon startup. RAM located on the motherboard must have continuous power to maintain the data (Date/Time). When time begins to read slowly or fails to keep up with current time it is a significant clue that the battery for CMOS is fading or may be dead and should be replaced.
