Explanation

Session policies are the correct tool because they govern ICA session behavior, including client device mapping and peripheral redirection such as USB devices. Citrix administrators configure Session policies (via Citrix Studio or Group Policy with the Citrix ADM template) to enable or disable USB redirection for all or specific users and machines.

SmartControl (B) is a Citrix ADC/NetScaler feature that performs application-layer inspection of ICA traffic - it doesn't manage in-session device behavior. Auditing (C) is for logging and tracking user activity, not for toggling features on or off. Authorization (D) controls who can access published resources, not what peripheral devices are available once inside a session.

Memory tip: Think "Session = what happens inside the session." Since USB redirection is a client-to-session device mapping feature, it lives in Session policy - the policy type that owns everything occurring within the ICA session boundary.
