During a system boot cycle, what program is executed after the BIOS completes its tasks?
Once the BIOS completes its tasks during a system boot cycle, the bootloader is the program that is executed next. The bootloader is responsible for loading the operating system's kernel into memory and starting it. The inetd and init programs are not executed immediately after the BIOS; the inetd is a super server daemon often used to manage internet services, and init is the first process started by the kernel after it has been loaded by the bootloader.
Why it is not the Kernel ?
Stages of Linux Boot Process: The machine’s BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or boot microcode hundreds and runs a boot loader. Boot loader finds the kernel image on the disk and loads it into memory, to start the system. The kernel initializes the devices and their drivers. The kernel mounts the basis filesystem. The kernel starts a program referred to as init with a method ID zero init sets the remainder of the system processes in motion. For some purpose, init starts a method permitting you to log in, typically at the top or close to the top of the boot sequence.
because kernel is not program
that is code
