Why each option
Physical security controls are tangible, hardware-based measures that protect assets from direct physical access or visual interception.
Directory permissions are a logical, software-based access control mechanism enforced by the operating system file system - not a physical security measure.
An RSA token is a physical hardware device (hard token) that generates time-based one-time passwords, requiring the user to physically possess the device to authenticate - making it a physical security control.
Principle of least privilege is an administrative policy and logical security concept that restricts user rights to only what is needed - it is not a physical control.
A privacy filter is a physical screen overlay that limits the viewing angle of a monitor, preventing visual eavesdropping from people nearby - a direct physical countermeasure.
