• A. Deterrence Controls
• B. Prevention Controls
• C. Detection Controls
• D. Proactive Approach

Answer: (A)

Deterrence controls are about discouraging people from violating policies by signaling that violations will be noticed and punished. Visible measures like security guards and warning signs create a perception of increased risk for the violator, which reduces the likelihood of an attempted breach even before any actual incident occurs. That’s why this description fits deterrence controls so well. Prevention controls aim to stop incidents from happening in the first place (for example, locks or access controls). Detection controls are about identifying or signaling that a violation has occurred (such as alarms or logs). A proactive approach refers to a mindset or strategy rather than a specific control type.
