Solution

The correct answer is c. Physical access to inventory storage room. General controls refer to the controls that encompass the overall operating environment where systems and applications are developed, maintained, and operated. They are designed to ensure the proper development and implementation of applications, the integrity of program and data files and of computer operations. So, controlling physical access to an inventory storage room is a general control as it is designed to protect the overall operational environment.
