Why each option
Plug and Play peripheral devices are typically installed when the operating system boots up. During the boot process, the OS detects new hardware and loads the appropriate drivers.
Installing security software happens after the OS has booted and devices are installed, not during the Plug and Play device installation phase.
Powering on for the first time merely initiates the boot sequence; the actual installation happens during the operating system's boot process, not the power-on moment itself.
When the operating system boots, it initiates a detection process for newly connected hardware. Plug and Play functionality allows the OS to identify these devices and automatically install the necessary drivers, making them available for use.
Adding additional user accounts is an operating system configuration task that occurs after hardware installation and system setup.
