Answer:

D. Flash the BIOS

Step-by-step explanation:

The function of the BIOS is to test all computer hardware that is attached to a machine before loading the operating system. Since the bios contains firmware that enables the configuration of computer hardware. when the 2 TB hard drive is connected the technician should update the program stored on the BIOS chip in other words flash the bios for it to be able to read the new hard drive. Reinstalling the drive will not make a difference as long as the BIOS still detects the 250 GB hard drive.
