Why each option

Access controls are generally classified into three types: administrative, technical, and physical, each providing distinct methods of protection.

AAdministrativeCorrect

Administrative access controls are policies, procedures, and guidelines that govern information access and security, such as security policies, awareness training, and personnel screening.

BAutomatic

Automatic is not a standard type of access control; while some controls can be automated in their operation, it describes an operational characteristic rather than a distinct category of access control like administrative, technical, or physical.

CTechnicalCorrect

Technical access controls are implemented through hardware and software mechanisms, like firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption, to restrict or manage access to resources.

DPhysicalCorrect

Physical access controls are measures designed to restrict direct access to facilities and equipment, including locks, security guards, surveillance systems, and alarm systems.
