Answer: C

Explanation:

According to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, clause A.11.1.1, the organization should implement physical and environmental security measures to prevent unauthorized access, damage or interference to the premises and information assets. Such measures include access control systems, CCTV cameras and security guards, which are forms of physical security. Physical security is different from environment security, which refers to the protection of information assets from natural disasters, fire, water, dust, etc., and from access control, which refers to the restriction of access rights to information assets based on business needs and security policies.
