It's A, A man trap is not a compensating control but a preventive one.

I dont understand your reasoning, that's also like saying it can't be cameras, because a camera is a detective control, not a compensating one... Like youre not wrong, but in this scenario a mantrap IS a compensating control to the fact that people are tailgating at your doors.

Right...but in this case the concern is people are tailgating at entries where you need to key card in. A camera does nothing to prevent this from reoccurring. A mantrap does.
