Which of the following is NOT a resource control measure?

• A. Checkpoints, and border security
• B. Ration controls
• C. Inspection of facilities
• D. Amnesty programs

Answer: (D)

Resource control measures are actions aimed at regulating access to and distribution of essential resources like food, fuel, and materials to keep a population or area secure and stable. Checkpoints and border security help guard supply lines by limiting unauthorized movement of people and goods, reducing diversion or smuggling. Ration controls ensure scarce resources are allocated fairly and prevent hoarding. Inspection of facilities monitors production and storage to prevent loss, theft, or sabotage of resources.

Amnesty programs, however, focus on political reconciliation and reintegration of former combatants rather than directly managing resources. They address security and social stability through forgiveness or amnesty, not by controlling how resources are accessed or used. Therefore, Amnesty programs are not resource control measures.
