Why each option
The three recognized categories of access controls are Physical, Administrative, and Technical (also called Logical), which together form a layered security framework.
Physical access controls include locks, guards, badge readers, and other tangible mechanisms that restrict physical entry to facilities and hardware.
Administrative access controls encompass policies, procedures, training, and governance measures that define how access is managed within an organization.
Automatic is not a recognized category in the standard three-part access control model - the correct technical term for software-enforced controls is Technical or Logical.
Technical access controls (also called logical controls) include software-based mechanisms such as firewalls, encryption, ACLs, and authentication systems that enforce access restrictions.
