Explanation

Physical security is achieved through three standard control categories: Administrative controls (A) - policies, procedures, and security awareness programs; Technical controls (C) - hardware and software mechanisms like alarms and access systems; and Physical controls (D) - barriers, locks, guards, and lighting. 'Integrity control mechanisms' (B) is not a recognized category of physical security controls. Integrity is a data/information security concept (part of the CIA triad) rather than a physical security control category, making it the odd one out.
