Why each option
User ID and password systems are classified under technical access controls because they use technology and software to enforce authentication and authorization policies.
Administrative access controls are policies, procedures, and guidelines established by an organization, such as security policies or background checks, not direct authentication methods.
Technical access controls are implemented through hardware or software and include mechanisms like user IDs, passwords, smart cards, biometrics, and firewalls. These controls are technological means to restrict access to resources.
Power is not a recognized type of access control in information security.
Physical access controls are mechanisms used to restrict access to physical areas, such as locks, fences, security guards, or surveillance cameras.
