Selected Answer: A
A is correct, By accessing the BIOS settings, the administrator can ensure that the system detects and properly utilizes the newly installed memory modules. B. Replace the RAM: This option assumes that the newly installed memory modules are faulty, but it's premature to replace them without first checking BIOS settings. C. Modify the boot.ini file: Modifying boot.ini is unrelated to recognizing new memory modules and can potentially cause boot issues if done incorrectly. D. Install the required drivers through the Control Panel: Memory modules don't require drivers to be installed, so this option is irrelevant.

from my knowledge, RAM drivers do not exist. A is the only other answer that seems to make sense.

Ram drivers? unheard of. Configuring timings and speed in the bios? sounds more accurate

I didnt even know you can update your RAM cards. Not sure what updating a RAM will do because it has a fixed max speed/latency on it. Updating the motherboard? maybe, but it seem more simple for A because you can check if the RAM are in the right slots. Different motherboard have single/dual/triple/quad channel. so that mean the user could have but the RAM stick in the wrong slot = maybe some RAM cards are not running.
