Final answer:
UEFI Secure Boot is the feature that ensures only trusted software loads during the system start-up by verifying signatures, but it does not inherently send boot information to a remote server. Option a is correct.
Explanation:
This feature is designed to ensure that only trusted software is loaded during the system start-up by checking the signatures of each piece of boot software, including firmware drivers (Option ROMs) and the operating system against a database of signatures authorized by the OEM or user. If the signatures do not match, the system will not boot.
This process helps protect the system against rootkits and other boot-level malware. However, it does not inherently send boot information to a remote server but can be configured to report to a management server for administrative purposes.
UEFI Secure Boot is the boot security mode that sends information on the boot process to a remote server. It ensures that the system starts only with software that is trusted by the system manufacturer. This feature helps prevent unauthorized software from running during the boot process.
