Explanation

Security controls are classified by both their function and their implementation type. 'Preventive' means the control acts to stop security incidents before they occur. 'Technical' (also called Logical) means the control is implemented using technology such as software, hardware, or firmware - for example, firewalls, access control lists, and encryption. Preventive/Technical controls therefore use technology to proactively block unauthorized access, making B the correct answer. Administrative controls use policies and procedures; Physical controls use tangible barriers.
