eeprom
The EEPROM chip which is meant to not be removed from the motherboard.

The solid-state storage technology that allows a computer BIOS to be upgraded by flashing is known as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). EEPROM can retain data even when powered off and can be electrically erased and reprogrammed, making it suitable for storing firmware like the BIOS. This capability enables users to update their BIOS to improve system functionality or compatibility.

The BIOS chip is located on the motherboard
sdram (WRONG!) Flash ROM is the correct answer (DING!) According to Penn Foster, the correct answer is EEPROM... so, take your pick...I got the answer wrong by chosing the second answer, My suggestion to you is to pick the third answer.
There is no "bios" directory in windows (or, any other operating system). BIOS stands for "basic input output system", and is a very basic set of instructions for the hardware to initialize itself and prepare to load an Operating System. BIOS is almost always held in an EEPROM on the computer motherboard. Accessing and changing this EEPROM can only be done through special programs specifically designed to modify the BIOS. In most cases, PC BIOS is not directly readable by you - rather, you can update the contents of them by using a bios flash program. This program (usually supplied by your motherboard or computer maker) is run, and provided with a pre-made image file, which contains the entire new BIOS code to be loaded in. This update program is an ordinary program, and can be run from any location (directory) on your computer.
EEPROM stands for
BIOS
The chip which holds software that is used to start the computer is the BIOS. The type of chip may be ROM, EEPROM, or 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".
