Solution
The applicable control of (4) is a preventive control. This is because both "Inventory control systems" and "Periodic physical inventory counts" are measures that are put in place to prevent issues such as stockouts, excessive carrying costs, and lost revenue due to markdowns. These controls aim to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place, hence they are preventive controls.
