Exactly, if the attacker would have a bolt cutter then hardware locks would NOT deter (scare away) the attacker hence C is incorrect. It would be more deterring with properly supervised visitor logs. Anyhow another crappy question.

Some measures can be in two or more type of controls.
Visitor logs — detective measure
Firewall — not a physical control type
Environmental monitoring — directive control.
so
Hardware locks may be the BEST answer in this case.
