Why each option
A mantrap is a physical security control that uses two interlocking doors to allow only one authenticated person to pass through at a time without requiring a human guard.
Fencing is a perimeter control that deters or delays unauthorized access to an area but does not authenticate individuals or enforce single-person entry.
A mantrap consists of a small enclosed space with two doors that cannot both be open simultaneously, ensuring that each individual must authenticate before the second door opens. This automated design enforces one-at-a-time access and prevents tailgating without requiring human security personnel to be present.
A guard provides human-monitored access control but represents human interaction, which the question explicitly excludes.
Video surveillance records or monitors activity but does not physically control or authenticate access to a space.
