Access controls don't only restrict, they also allow. Why do I care if the wrong person has access to my data? So they don't steal or change it on me. So I think it is D, I want access controls so someone doesn't go in there are mess with my critical files. That is accomplished by A, but the goal is not to restrict, but to make sure my data is safe, which is accomplished by restricting.

Seems A is correct: https://www.cybersecurity-automation.com/what-is-logical-access-control-in-computer-security/#:~:text=Logical%20access%20control%20composes%20policies%2C%20procedures%2C%20and%20other,to%20restrict%20access%20to%20computer%20files%20and%20databases. What is Logical Access Control? Logical access control composes policies, procedures, and other activities that are part of the managerial control of an organization. It restricts the use of information to authorized individuals, groups, or organizations. Moreover, it is a subset of security that deals with the processes used to restrict access to computer files and databases. This process includes authentication, authorization, and auditing. Logical access control uses logical security measures to protect computer systems, data, applications, and services from unauthorized access.
