Which of the following prevents forced entry into a building?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

A bollard is a sturdy physical barrier---often a steel or concrete post---designed to prevent vehicles or unauthorized individuals from ramming into or entering secure areas of a building. It provides physical security and is commonly used outside entrances to prevent forced entry.

A . PIV (Personal Identity Verification) cards are used for identity access control, not physical blocking.

B . Motion lighting may deter activity but doesn't physically prevent entry.

C . Surveillance records activity but cannot stop a forced entry.


CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Objective 2.4: Compare and contrast physical security measures.

Bollards seem like they would prevent vehicle access, but I can't recall if they apply to forced entry in a traditional sense.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think video surveillance is more about monitoring than actually stopping someone from breaking in.

I feel like motion-activated lighting could deter intruders, but I'm not sure if it really prevents entry itself.

I think I remember that PIV cards are more about access control rather than preventing forced entry.

I think the answer is probably A, the PIV card. That's a pretty standard security measure to control access and keep out intruders. The other options seem more like deterrents rather than direct prevention of forced entry.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'm not sure if any of these answers are really the best way to prevent forced entry. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel like there could be other security measures that would work better.

Okay, let's see. A PIV card would control access and prevent unauthorized entry, so that's a good option. But a bollard could also physically block someone from breaking in, so I'm leaning towards that.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I feel like motion-activated lighting or video surveillance could also help prevent forced entry, but I'm not 100% confident. Guess I'll have to think it through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm thinking the answer is probably either A or D, since those seem most directly related to preventing forced entry.

D) Bollard seems like the obvious choice to prevent forced entry. Those big posts are not easy to just push through.
