Selected Answer: D
option D, "Prevent, recover, and detect," aligns most closely with these objectives. A. Detect, recover, and attack - This option includes "attack" as an objective, which is not a standard security control objective. B. Prevent, respond, and log - This option is close but doesn't include "detect," which is a crucial aspect of security controls. C. Prevent, control, and attack - Similar to option A, this option includes "attack" as an objective, which is not a primary objective of security controls. D. Prevent, recover, and detect - This option covers the main security control objectives, which are to prevent security incidents, detect security incidents when prevention fails, and recover from security incidents.
