Explanation

Corrective controls are designed to fix, restore, or remediate a system or process after a security incident has occurred. Backups (A) restore lost data, patches (B) fix identified vulnerabilities, and a Disaster Recovery Plan (D) restores operations after a disaster - all corrective. Bollards (C) are concrete or metal posts used to block vehicle access. They are a physical preventive control, not corrective, because their purpose is to stop an incident before it happens, not to recover from one.
