CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 57

Which of the following would BEST provide detective and corrective controls for thermal regulation?

Answer options

• A. A smoke detector
• B. A fire alarm
• C. An HVAC system
• D. A fire suppression system
• E. Guards

Correct answer: C

Explanation

An HVAC system is designed to regulate temperature and can provide both detection of thermal issues and corrective actions to maintain proper conditions. In contrast, a smoke detector and fire alarm primarily focus on detecting smoke and fire, while a fire suppression system is reactive rather than preventive. Guards do not contribute to thermal regulation.
