Answer: A

Explanation:

A repressive security measure is a measure that aims to stop or limit an ongoing incident from causing further harm, or to restore normal operations as soon as possible. A repressive security measure can be a policy, a procedure, a device, a technique or an action that responds to an incident and mitigates its consequences. Extinguishing the fire after the fire alarm sounds is an example of a repressive security measure, because it stops the fire from spreading and damaging more assets or endangering more people. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 defines repressive control as “control that modifies risk by reducing the consequences of an unwanted incident” (see clause 3.38).
