Answer: D

The most appropriate control to prevent unauthorized entry
is to terminate connection after a specified number of
attempts. This will deter access through the guessing of ids
and passwords. The other choices are physical controls,
which are not effective in deterring unauthorized accesses
via the telephone lines.
