Why each option
A bollard is a physical security control specifically engineered to resist and stop vehicle impact, making it the correct answer for vehicle barrier questions.
A gate controls entry and exit but is not inherently designed to withstand vehicle impact force.
A fence is a perimeter boundary control that deters casual intrusion but cannot reliably stop a moving vehicle.
A bollard is a short, sturdy vertical post installed in the ground, often made of steel or reinforced concrete, specifically designed to prevent vehicle intrusion or ram-raid attacks. Unlike other perimeter controls, bollards are rated by their ability to stop vehicles at specific speeds and weights. They are a standard physical security measure used to protect building entrances, server facilities, and other sensitive areas.
Reinforced rebar is a construction reinforcement material used inside concrete structures, not a standalone security barrier product.
