I could be wrong, but I thought corrective controls were more about fixing issues after they happen, not preventing access.

This feels similar to a practice question I did on physical security controls. I think preventive makes sense here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about deterrent controls being more about discouraging attempts rather than stopping them outright.

I think biometric access is more about stopping unauthorized access, so it might be preventive?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know SOA has something to do with software architecture, but I can't remember the exact meaning. I'll have to think about it for a bit.
