Exam CIPM topic 1 question 251 discussion

I think it should be D. According to the CIPM book (page 122) environmental security controls can consist of techniques to monitor, detect, and deter. Motion sensors fall under monitor or detect. I think a UPS is a respond or recover control, which doesn't fit here. Hmmmm.

should be C

The option that is **NOT** typically considered an environmental control is: **C. Motion sensors.** Environmental controls generally refer to systems that manage the physical environment to protect infrastructure from hazards like fire, water damage, or power failure. Fire alarms (A), leak detection systems (B), and uninterruptible power supplies (D) all help mitigate environmental risks. Motion sensors (C), however, are more related to security and intrusion detection rather than managing environmental conditions.
