Correct Answer - Option 2 : Booting

The correct answer is Booting.

• Booting is the process of turning on a computer and powering up the system. 
  • In other words, it is a startup sequence that starts the operating system of a computer when it is turned on.

• There are two types of Booting-
  • Warm Booting
    • It is the process of restarting a computer.
    • Warm boots are typically initiated by a "Restart" command in the operating system.
  • Cold Booting
    • It is the process of starting a computer from shutdown or a powerless state and setting it to normal working condition.
    • It refers to the general process of starting the hardware components of a computer, laptop, or server to the point that its operating system and all startup applications and services are launched.
