Explanation

A cable lock (also called a Kensington lock) is a physical security device that attaches to the laptop's security slot and anchors it to a fixed object such as a desk or bed frame, preventing theft. The question specifically asks about physical security. Hard drive encryption protects data but does not prevent the laptop from being physically taken. Multifactor authentication is a logical/access control measure, not physical. A docking station is a peripheral connectivity device with no inherent physical security function.
