A directive managerial control provides guidance and expectations for behavior through policy and governance. An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a classic example, as it defines how users may and may not use organizational systems and data. Security+ SY0-701 categorizes policies as managerial (administrative) controls that direct user behavior and establish accountability.
A login warning banner (B) is typically a deterrent/administrative control but is not managerial in nature. A master service agreement (C) is a contractual/legal document, not a managerial directive for internal users. A “No trespassing” sign (D) is a physical deterrent control.
Because an AUP formally directs behavior and is enforced through management processes, A: Acceptable use policy is correct.
