Explanation

Physical security refers to measures that control physical access to hardware, facilities, and resources. A cipher lock (combination door lock) controls who can physically enter a room or building, making it a physical security control. Strong passwords (A) are a logical/software security measure protecting accounts and data. NTFS (C) is a file system that enforces access permissions at the software level - it is a logical security control. A firewall (D) is a network security control that filters traffic - also logical. Physical security encompasses locks, mantraps, badge readers, biometrics, security cameras, and anything that restricts or monitors physical access.
