You own a small company in a remote industrial areA. Lately, the alarm regularly goes off in the middle of the night. It takes quite a bit of time to respond to it and it seems to be a false alarm…

Question

Options

• ADetective measure
• BPreventive measure
• CRepressive measure

• A
  74% (43)
• B
  17% (10)
• C
  9% (5)

Explanation

Option A (Detective) is correct because a hidden camera is designed to discover and identify what is actually triggering the alarm - it monitors, records, and reveals the cause of an incident rather than stopping it beforehand or limiting its damage.

Option B (Preventive) is wrong because preventive measures stop incidents from happening in the first place (e.g., better locks, access barriers, security lighting). A camera watches what happens; it doesn't prevent it.

Option C (Repressive) is wrong because repressive measures limit damage after an incident has begun (e.g., sprinkler systems, emergency shutoffs). The camera is not reducing harm - it's gathering information.

Memory tip: Think of the word root - a detective solves mysteries by gathering evidence, just like a hidden camera. If the measure answers "What happened and who did it?", it's detective.
