Answer: (A)

Defensive measures to reduce vulnerability of individuals and property to terrorist acts, including limited response and containment by local military and civilian forces describe anti-terrorism. This term covers actions taken to deter, prevent, and respond to terrorism, aiming to lower the chances of successful attacks and to contain incidents when they occur, often with assistance from local authorities. The idea is to reduce risk specifically from terrorist threats and to have a rapid, localized response to contain the situation. Other terms broaden the scope: force protection focuses on preserving mission capability and safeguarding personnel and assets across threats, physical security emphasizes barriers and controls to prevent unauthorized access, and information security protects data and systems.
