CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 857

Which of the following controls does a mantrap BEST represent?

Answer options

• A. Deterrent
• B. Detective
• C. Physical
• D. Corrective

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A mantrap is primarily a physical control mechanism designed to restrict access and ensure security by allowing only authorized individuals to enter a controlled area. While deterrent, detective, and corrective controls serve important functions, they do not provide the same level of physical barrier and access management that a mantrap does.
