Why each option
A bollard is a short, hardened post specifically engineered and tested to resist vehicle impact, making it the correct physical security control for stopping a car.
A gate controls authorized entry and exit at a perimeter but is not engineered to physically withstand or stop a moving vehicle attempting to breach it.
A fence defines a perimeter boundary and deters casual intrusion but provides minimal structural resistance against a vehicle driving through it.
A bollard is a robust physical barrier - typically constructed of reinforced steel or concrete - that is installed to prevent vehicle-borne attacks or accidental intrusions into a protected area. Unlike perimeter controls such as fences or gates, bollards are purpose-built and rated for vehicle impact resistance, making them the standard countermeasure against vehicle ramming threats.
Reinforced rebar is a construction material embedded within concrete structures to add tensile strength - it is not a standalone deployable security barrier.
