This question wants us to assume that we have two or three various operating systems installed on our computer’s hard disk. When you boot your machine, the boot manager program will make necessary calculations and choose to boot into the OS that has been set as a priority. However, since the boot managers are designed to offer the user with the list of OS available to boot into, the user can make these selections manually. By default, boot managers have to be stored at particular locations of the hard drive and get the recognition when the system boots up. The bootstrap program comes in when it wants to locate the kernel into RAM and execute it and start the OS.

Speech on inventors and inventions
vlada-n [284]
Interntors present an interesting kind of people who think in peculiar ways sometimes. This ability allows them to view certain situations in ways in which other people cannot. Because of this, they can think of new ways of how such situations can be tackled. This is how inventions are born. A person with an inventive mind sees a new situation where he thinks of a new solution how he could improve this situation with his invention.

This process is continued continuously with new generations of inventors seeing and coming back to old situations over and over again, inventing new things along the way.

Why should computers have a file structure?
UkoKoshka [18]
I am guessing "A" because you can store code anywhere and file structure does not prevent viruses.
