Explanation

Technical controls (also called logical controls) are security measures implemented through technology - hardware, software, and firmware. Access control mechanisms (A), password and resource management (B), infrastructure configuration (C), identification and authentication methods (D), and security devices (F) are all enforced through technical means. Option E - conducting security-awareness training - is an Administrative (or Operational) control, not a technical one, because it involves people and processes rather than technology. That is why E is excluded from the correct answers.
