B.

Explanation:
Locks are considered "easy-to-defeat" devices because special
tools can be used to break them. Locks should be used in concert with other devices.
They are called "delay mechanisms" because they will only be a bump in the
road for a determined intruder. Even though they have many weaknesses, locks are the
most common and accepted physical security control used today because they are
inexpensive and easy to use.
