The set of instructions that the computer uses to boot up is called the Basic Input/Output System, or BIOS. To find the correct answer, you can follow a few steps:

1. Understand the options: Read through the given options and try to get an idea of what each term represents. In this case, BIOS, BOOT, POST, and SETUP are different terms related to the computer's boot-up process.

2. Eliminate wrong options: Cross out any options that are obviously incorrect or unrelated to the boot-up process. In this case, POST (Power-On Self-Test) and SETUP are not the primary set of instructions used during booting, so you can eliminate them.

3. Compare remaining options: Now you are left with BIOS and BOOT. To determine the correct option, think about what the computer needs to initialize before the operating system can load. The BIOS is responsible for initializing hardware components, performing some basic tests, and then transferring control to the operating system. On the other hand, BOOT represents the act of starting up the computer. Among the two options, BIOS is the more accurate term to describe the initial set of instructions used during the boot-up process.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: BIOS.
