Explanation

Bollards (D) are short, sturdy vertical posts placed around a building's perimeter specifically to prevent vehicle ramming attacks. They absorb or deflect the kinetic energy of a vehicle before it can breach the structure. This directly mitigates the described attack vector. Fencing can be driven through with enough force and does not stop a determined vehicle. Proximity readers and video surveillance are access/monitoring controls that would not have physically stopped the vehicle from entering.
