Why each option
Security controls are broadly categorized as administrative, technical, and physical, whereas 'transitional' is not a standard classification.
Transitional is not a recognized or standard type of security control in information security frameworks. Standard classifications of controls include administrative (or procedural), technical (or logical), and physical controls.
Administrative controls are policies, procedures, and guidelines that dictate how security is managed within an organization.
Technical controls are hardware or software-based mechanisms used to protect systems and data, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption.
Physical controls are mechanisms used to protect physical assets, such as fences, locks, security guards, and environmental controls.
