A process is an administrative control; sometimes, the process includes elements of other types of controls (in this case, the access control mechanism might be a technical control, or it might be a physical control), but the process itself is administrative. Keystroke logging is a technical control (or an attack, if done for malicious purposes, and not for auditing); door locks are a physical control; and biometric authentication is a technological control.

Keystroke logging is more of a monitoring tool, not admin.

Wait, are you saying biometric authentication isn't admin? That seems off!

I feel like door locks are more physical security, and biometric authentication is technical too. So, B seems like the best choice here.

I think administrative controls are more about policies and procedures, so maybe it's B? But I'm not entirely sure.

Biometric authentication seems like it could be an administrative control, but I'm not 100% certain. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'm not totally confident, but I think door locks might be the right answer since they're a physical control implemented by management.

I'm pretty sure that access control process is considered an administrative control, but I'll double-check the definitions just to be sure.

Haha, keystroke logging is so old-school. That's like something out of a 90s hacker movie!

I'm not sure, but I think door locks could also be considered an administrative control since they restrict physical access to a building or room.
