Correct:
B
Explanation
AUTOEXEC.BAT (short for Automatic Execution Batch file) is a system file used in DOS and early versions of Windows. It is a batch file containing a series of commands that the operating system executes automatically every time the computer boots up. It was typically used to set environment variables, run antivirus software, or initialize hardware drivers.
- COMMAND.COM is the command-line interpreter (shell) for DOS, not the startup script itself.
- CONFIG.SYS is a configuration file used to load device drivers and configure system memory before the command shell starts.
- AUTOSTART.BAT is not a standard system file name in the DOS/Windows architecture.
