Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Compensating controls are alternative or additional controls that are implemented when the primary or preferred controls are not feasible or effective. Compensating controls can provide a similar level of protection or reduce the risk to an acceptable level until a proper fix is released. For example, if a vulnerability exists in a web server that allows remote code execution, a compensating control could be to restrict access to the web server by using a firewall or an IPS.
