Explanation

Layered security (also called defense-in-depth) is the practice of deploying multiple, overlapping security controls so that if one fails, others continue to protect the environment. Using a firewall, content filter, antivirus, and IDS together is a classic example. Redundant systems (A) refers to duplicate components for availability/failover, not varied security tools. Separation of duties (B) is an access control concept. Application control (D) restricts which software can run, which is just one control.
