Explanation

Theft (A), employee errors (B), and fraud (D) are all man-made threats because they originate directly from human actions - whether intentional (theft, fraud) or unintentional (errors) - and represent deliberate or negligent acts that can compromise an organization's assets, data, or operations.

Strikes (C) is the distractor: while strikes involve people, they are classified as a labor/operational disruption rather than a direct security threat in most security frameworks. Strikes don't directly attack, steal, or damage organizational assets the way the other three do - they're a business continuity concern, not a threat vector.

Memory tip: Think "TED" - Theft, Errors, Deception (fraud). These three map directly to human-caused harm, whether someone takes something, accidentally breaks something, or deliberately deceives the organization. If an action doesn't fit that harm model (like workers walking out), it's not a man-made security threat.
