I recall a practice question about operational controls, and I think vibration alarms were mentioned as a way to alert rather than prevent. So, I’m leaning towards fire suppressants.

I remember discussing fire safety measures in class, and I feel like fire suppressants might be the right answer since they actively prevent fire damage.

I think preventative controls are meant to stop incidents before they happen, but I'm not sure which one fits that definition here.

This is a good test of our understanding of preventative controls. I'm pretty confident that the fire suppressant system is the right answer here, since it's actively working to prevent a fire from breaking out and causing damage. The other options are more for detection than prevention.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know preventative controls are supposed to stop something bad from happening, but I'm not sure which of these options would qualify. I'll have to review my notes on operational security controls before answering this.

Okay, let's see here. Smoke sensors and vibration alarms are more like detection controls, not preventative. Voltage regulators are more for power management. I think the fire suppressant system is the best answer here since it's actually preventing a fire from occurring and causing damage. Yep, I'm going with B.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know preventative controls are meant to stop something from happening, but I'm not 100% sure which of these options would be considered a preventative control in operational security. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Smoke sensors? More like 'smoke and mirrors'! I'm gonna go with the classic fire suppressant for this one.

Hold on, let me check my crystal ball... I'm feeling B) Fire Suppressant. After all, you can't have a fire if you don't have any fire to begin with!
