Which of the following is the strongest physical access control?
The strongest physical access control is achieved by combining multiple factors of authentication, which can include something the user is (biometrics), something the user knows (password), and something the user has (badge reader). Option D includes all three of these factors, making it the most robust form of physical access control among the given options. Each component adds an additional layer of security, ensuring that unauthorized access becomes significantly more difficult.

D is correct
Selected Answer: C Badges, identification cards, and security IDs are forms of physical identification and/or access to electronic control devices. CISSP 9th Edition pg 456 kindle reader
Please Read the question carefully is asking for physical! That's the keyword a password is not considered physical because it is a piece of information that is stored electronically or in a person's memory. Physical access controls refer to measures that use physical objects or devices to restrict access, such as badges, keys, or biometric readers.
isnt a pin(password) entered into an electronic lock a form of password?
A password is not "physical" access control. So "C" is the most correct answer.
It's c. Hint - physical access control, not logical.
A password is not a typical PACS.
Why not C? Its' asking for physical access control.
Got it :)
Yea but pysical access and password? Never see a password. A PIN yes but no password ….

The combination of access controls provides multiple factors of authentication, including something the user is (biometrics), something the user knows (password), and something the user has (badge) makes it much harder for an unauthorized person to gain access to a secure area or system. Although a password may not be necessary in a physical access control scenario where biometrics and a badge reader are already present (biometrics and a badge reader alone can provide a strong physical access control mechanism), however, the addition of a password as a third factor of authentication can further increase security and may be required in some high-security environments. Sine the question emphasizes "strongest" physical access control, option D is correct.
A password is not a typical PACS.
Types 1 to 3, AIO
PIN is not strongest physical control, D combination would be the strongest
D. Type 1, 2 & 3. All in one.
