Explanation

Security controls are categorized into three types: administrative, physical, and logical/technical. Logical (technical) controls are implemented through hardware or software mechanisms to protect systems and data - examples include access control lists, encryption, firewalls, authentication systems, and security tokens. A security token (A) is a hardware or software-based authentication device, making it a classic logical/technical control. Heating and air conditioning (B) and smoke/fire alarms (C) are physical/environmental controls that protect the facility. A corporate security policy (D) is an administrative control, as it governs behavior through written rules and procedures rather than through technology.
