Why each option

Biometric devices are primarily used for authentication based on unique biological characteristics, making them ideal for controlling physical access to secure areas or systems.

ADisk compression

Disk compression is a data storage technique to reduce file size, unrelated to user authentication.

BLUN masking

LUN masking is a storage area network (SAN) security feature that restricts which servers can access specific logical unit numbers (LUNs).

CPhysical accessCorrect

Biometric devices verify a person's identity using unique physical traits like fingerprints or facial recognition, making them best suited for authenticating individuals for physical access control to buildings, rooms, or devices.

DFile permissions

File permissions are access control settings on a file system that determine who can read, write, or execute specific files, typically managed by operating system access control lists.
